I trust this about the same as I trust the microphone off switch on my Google nest mini..
you know you can intercept the traffic and prove your suspicions (right or wrong) instead of making baseless accusations, right?
Don’t even need to do that, haven’t had one in a while but when I did, I remember I had it on mute and said hey Google. It responded immediately with “the microphone is muted.” How did it know to answer then?
I don't recall accusing the nest of anything except earning my distrust. I'm more the type to open it and solder my own switch in, which is what I did.
