Why didn't Notion ask for my affirmative consent before monitoring my network traffic?

Are there other cases where Notion is monitoring my network traffic? If so, what are they?

There's no network traffic monitoring, not sure what the support agent is talking about -- I think they misunderstood something.

See here: https://www.reddit.com/r/Notion/comments/1i4ypl8/comment/m8o... for info about the "local network access" permission

So just to confirm, you are saying that "network port analysis" is NOT used to determine if someone has entered a zoom meeting?

the logic is “mic is on” + “process using mic is called [zoom/google/etc]” and done locally
