I've heard that they keep microphones constantly recording 24/7 and using that to advertise. Is this true?

I read something similar in the news lately. It was about webcams and microphones. Imo it's totally possible that they do that, I mean after all you are never really "safe" once you do something in the internet.

Good solutions could be to cover your webcam if you have one, and remove the cover only, if you REALLY use it. Same with your microphone, just plug it out, if you don't need it.

But I think others might have more insight on this topic, since I rarely read about these things.
