You’re so right. We should just trust the computers in our pockets, hands, and nightstands 24/7/365 running proprietary operating systems, firmware, and sensor suites phoning home as much targeting data as they can possibly collect — but not that! What could they possibly gain from harvesting that?

Companies really are using tons of highly sensitive data to target ads, even when we sleep. But they're not generally using microphones to record audio to do it. Both things can be accurate statements.
