Why does big tech listen when you're on mute?
Discoveries by researchers at the University of Wisconsin have revealed that even when you mute your microphone on conferencing apps, audio data is still being transmitted over the internet. This raises privacy and ethical concerns as companies could potentially collect and process this information for their own purposes. MuteMe provides a solution by muting audio at both the application and operating system levels, ensuring user trust and privacy. It's time for operating system providers like Microsoft and Apple to enhance their audio endpoints and protect user privacy.
