Cox Media Group claims to be listening to private conversations to sell advertisements
“What would it mean for your business if you could target potential clients who are actively discussing their need for your services in their day-to-day conversations? No, it's not a Black Mirror episode—it's Voice Data, and CMG has the capabilities to use it to your business advantage.”
While I’m dubious of the claim due to the robust permissions management in the latest versions of iOS and Android, it is interesting that a company has come out and said they are doing what everyone is thinking.
And yes they are a subsidiary of the parent of Cox Communications, the ISP, so I would be switching to a competitor ASAP if I had their services

The comparisons to Black Mirror are crazy considering that the show serves to always show the downsides of dystopian tech.
Weird for a self proclaimed marketing company to not know that.

well, you call it dystopia, they call it brainstorming :P
