      DeSantis has spent the past decade radicalizing Florida. He hasn’t stopped, we just can’t hear it over the noise from Trump.

      I’ll also point out that both Florida and Texas were increasingly blue. The increasing radicalization of both states is a deliberate effort to prevent national Democratic party power in the future, a test case for things that they want to do nationally, and provides a power base from which they can try to leverage that power to affect everyone in the country.

      Chordia also says his company has a deal with Shazam, which can help it to identify users by analysing audio provided by Alphonso and selling its findings back to the company.

      This is a really old article and thus, Alphonso isn’t the only game in town anymore. But that’s how they get away with it. They can tell you legally that they do not listen to you, and they don’t readily disclose that their buddy Alfonso listens instead, and then Alfonso goes back and tells them everything.
