Anything sensed can be transmitted but not necessarily in its current form. It can be used to train some ml algorithm about you and the parameters can be transferred. Privacy should start at the sensing level.

So you're saying you'd prefer that your phone not have a microphone? Because that's where this information is ultimately coming from. (At the "sensing level".)

Maybe we need physical switches for the microphone and the camera.
