In the same sense, every network connected voice controlled device has the potential of spying on us. I think that people should keep an eye of what is transmitted from our devices. When there is an open mic, there is always risk.
On my phone, I monitor all data going in and out. I'm also alerted every time a connection is attempted silently as well as silent sms. I also monitor if cell towers are real or 'StingRay' towers.
I've been meaning to compile a list of apps, settings, and methods to make an android phone as spy proof as it can be.
are you telling me that its possible to turn off all googles bullshit on android? if so i haven't found it. so what, you can see data, you can't see into its ssl connections back to home base
AVG PrivacyFix app will guide the user through disabling Google's data mining and the user also can disable many Google applications on their phone completely. Neglecting their apps is also possible.
The user could even choose to install an android distribution that has no GAPPS at all (Google apps).

Yeah, I need to compile that list.
