Google: mind if we put a keylogger on your browser for spellchecking?

You: don’t

Google: OK, we won’t use the keylogger data for spellchecking

DanglingFury,

They’ll just use all the other methods they have to track what your typing.

Researchers had artificial intelligence listen to the sounds of typing through a phone and over Zoom, with eerie results.

SpacetimeMachine,

This was kinda overstated though. It really only works when you already have a dataset of that specific type on that specific keyboard. It’s not gonna just work on anyone.

DanglingFury,

Good distinction. I imagine anyone typing into a google search bar with an android device nearby could have their keyboard mapped though, if Google ever wanted to do such a thing.

Anticorp,

People: “Can we please get some government regulation against all this spying?”

The government: “Best we can do is some tax cuts for Google.”
