Then why did they immediately settle lol
If it was just confirmation bias, it would take basically no effort to dismiss the issue in court
This is not the "hard evidence" we need (and would not be hard to get if it were happening in the way people think it does).
I don't use any voice assistants personally because I still have concerns (but not a belief)
