They weren't analyzing voice, but what they are doing gets them just as much or more data.

- They watch how quickly you scroll through the news feed at what you pause on, even briefly.

- They have ad deals with many of the sites you probably visit so can determine many of your search terms and interests even if you didn't search those things through Facebook itself.

- They have your friend & family graph and Facebook messenger context. Even if you personally didn't say something, maybe you mentioned it to a friend at some point and they searched it or discussed it in a chat.

I'd be okay with it, if it stopped all these shootings and bombings, but that doesn't seem to be working out too well. :-(
