My claim is that it's possible for them, not that they are necessarily doing it. The technology is there.
My advice is: if you have any sort of fight with any big tech corp that gets the high levels involved, stay away from their products as far as you can.
Another prior art: it's well documented that nation states do such stuff all the time. Group of diplomats from country A visits country B to discuss a big treaty with them. They stay over at the Hotel and discuss their strategy. The Hotel is bugged so country B gets an advantage during the negotiations.
