I found that episode annnoying because it implies that the red line is microphone tracking.

They buried a lede — the story laid out a case that Facebook doesn’t need your audio. Isn’t that a bigger story?

They explicitly talk about that in the episode though - the reality of Facebook buying all this credit card and shopping history data might actually be creepier than them listening to your mic.
