    Google listens in to recognize what music playing (default on Google Pixels) this can’t be done locally without a huge database so in way or another Google is sending processed microphone data to their servers. There’s no way they can resist getting their grubby mits on that ad data…

      Good thing Pixel’s have a built in database of “fingerprints” of popular songs for local processing.

      The database of fingerprints is actually quite small and stored locally. You could have looked this up in less time than it took you to spout bullshit.

        Who the fuck said anything about fingerprints, literal or figurative. There’s absolutely no way that a database of every song ever recorded is stored on an Android phone. Wake up.
