But that's people bullshitting themselves. It's not like you suddenly behave differently in your own home once you got an echo dot. You basically know you just sold your privacy to amazon, but you tell yourself it's OK since you know about it, which somehow puts you on top of the game. It doesn't.

No it's not. What Google did here was illegal. There are also people who value their privacy and don't have an Amazon echo or other listening device.

You're trying to argue that SOME people don't value their privacy so NO ONE should ever have an expectation that a device they buy isn't secretly listening in on them illegally. I fundamentally disagree with that take.
