Furthermore, according to Facebook, the clips were anonymized.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>However, Facebook says &#8220;we paused human review of audio more than a week ago,&#8221; likely due to the public backlash that the exposure of similar programs has caused.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>At least one company, TaskUs, was involved in transcribing user conversations. The company worked with Facebook as a client under the codename &#8220;Prism&#8221; and would also review content believed to be in potential violation of Facebook policies.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<section class=\"sharethrough-top\" data-component=\"medusaContentRecommendation\" data-medusa-content-recommendation-options=\"{&quot;promo&quot;:&quot;promo_ZD_recommendation_sharethrough_top_in_article_desktop&quot;,&quot;spot&quot;:&quot;dfp-in-article&quot;}\">\n<\/section>\n<p>TaskUs said that Facebook had asked the firm to stop its transcription activities over a week ago, according to the publication.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Back in July, Amazon became the first technology firm to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.zdnet.com\/article\/amazon-confirms-alexa-customer-voice-recordings-are-kept-forever\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">come under fire<\/a> for storing conversations between the Alexa voice assistant &#8212; found in products including the Echo and Echo Dot smart speakers &#8212; unless a customer chooses to manually delete voice recordings.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Amazon now plans to allow users to opt-out of the snooping.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>CNET:&nbsp;<\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cnet.com\/news\/that-4g-hotspot-could-be-a-hotbed-for-hackers\/?ftag=CMG-01-10aaa1b\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">That 4G hotspot could be a hotbed for hackers<\/a><br \/>&nbsp;<br \/>In the same month, reports surfaced which revealed Apple&#8217;s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.zdnet.com\/article\/apples-siri-overhears-your-drug-deals-and-sexual-activity-whistleblower-says\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Siri voice assistant<\/a> was recording private conversations on a regular basis; some of which were ending up in the hands of contractors tasked with grading the technology&#8217;s interpretation of audio.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>The individuals involved were asked to grade Siri&#8217;s responses to commands and whether or not the system woke itself in response to the right wake word &#8212; but in some cases, noises, including the sound of a zipper, would be misconstrued as &#8220;Hey Siri.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Clips relating to sexual activity, drug deals, and private conversations between patients and doctors were all stored.

In response to questions by data protection regulators in the EU, Google suspended the project for three months to allow a review to take place. However, the temporary project pause only impacts users in European countries.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Facebook has just finalized a settlement with the US Federal Trade Commission (FTC) over <a
