I don't want random people listening in on me, but I don't mind the person I choose to speak to listening to me.

Does that qualify as hypocrisy too?

You can argue against dealing with any billion dollar company. But drop the hypocrisy framing, it is nonsensical and your point will be stronger without it.

Do you think all the apps on your phone that you give permission to use the microphone are only using it when you choose to speak into it?

You obviously havent read my posts very well. I have repeatedly said that the hypocrisy is subjective, my opinion only, and I am not trying to convince anyone otherwise. You are entitles to think whatever you want, trust whoever you want, and believe what ever you want. I am entitled to consider it hypocrisy if you are turning a blind eye to tracking from one side but happy allowing it from another.
