Probably/possibly, but we know that these systems do a lot more than just respond to requests, they also record entire conversations without your knowledge.Quote:

The fact is, the Snoopers Charter has made it possible for Government departments to collect your web browsing history anyhow. GCHQ has access to webcam chats. Apps on phones have access to your mic. The original story is a non story, imo, and acts as a distraction to the big data mining that people really should be concerned about.Quote:
