2019-02-19 | Google says Nest microphone was 'never supposed to be a secret' - Business Insider
"The problem: Nest users didn't know a microphone even existed on their security device to begin with."
'In early February, Google announced that its home security and alarm system Nest Secure would be getting an update — users could now enable its virtual assistant technology, Google Assistant. '
'Google bought Nest — which was initially known for its smart thermostat device — back in 2014 for $3.2 billion. '
'On Tuesday, a Google spokesperson told Business Insider the company had made an "error."'
'The existence of a microphone on the Nest Guard (which is the alarm, keypad, and motion sensor component in the Nest Secure offering) was never disclosed in any of the product material for the device. '
For the CIA, Google was an investment in the future of the US. The above is obviously a simple oversight; I don't know what the fuss is about. There is no coincidence here.

Reminder. Google is owned and funded by the CIA via their Alphabet umbrella company.
