Yes, your cell phone IS listening to you. "Active listening" is used by Google, Facebook, & Amazon

Turning it off doesn't stop the mic, camera, gps, triangulation pings, etc. from working.

Removing the battery on some stops it, though others have two batteries and many new phones now don't allow easy battery removal. Also, when you reinsert the battery, AI is able to approximate location, etc. if it was moved during the no battery phase and also creates "pattern" files among other things.

It's not just phones. Most all appliances, vehicles, even many tools/toys, etc. now have microphones, cameras, etc.

We have Alexa in our home so pretty much some person is listening to our sad boring lives already.

It's AI that listens and records onto servers.

Because it’s not off, the screen is just black and the buttons don’t work, other than power on. I hate iPhones for that reason, no removable battery. There are lots of devices that you can’t turn off though, like my Roku. I just unplug the power when I’m done with it.

Why are you intentionally delivering misinformation, that is contrary to common knowlege among the public now?

This. ^
As long as the power source is connected to the "smart" device that is wifi/satellite capable, it can be remotely activated for any feature by numerous corporations, government agencies, law enforcement, or individuals with knowhow.

I miss the old days when the media was on our side. This wouldn't have gotten past them for a hot second. The companies would have been hounded and shamed into disabling this spyware.

Where's our government when we need protection?

I'll tell you where they are - they're posturing and pretending to be doing their job, but what they're really doing is suing the Sheetz chain because the Sheetz chain doesn't want to endanger their customers by hiring felons.

Interesting article.
Ex-CIA Democrat and second richest billionaire in world talks about AI being used to power drones for everyone.
Everyone gets at least one drone following them 24/7, along with current AI monitoring indoors via phones and tech appliances.
