they are recording everything you say. If you look at where you enter your text message theres a little record button that can't be turned off. When it first appeared you could remove it denying the app the permission. Latest update, its permanent. Why? So they can gather information for AI. For the same reason you can't complain about Generative AI and your phone info, now you can't about your conversations, on the phone or talking to your dog while watching TV. They are recording every single thing you say. That's what Stratos and these other data centers are for. they're not server farms. They are data farms as their name says. Data is information saved. They are not adding numbers and doing math to make games or word processing or spreadsheets etc. They are HUGE PRIVATE INFORMATION FARMS HELD ELECTRONICALLY FOR ETERNITY.

Fuck anybody that says we need these for AI to stay ahead of China BS. AI DOESN"T NEED OUR PRIVATE INFORMATION TO WORK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
