They're also lying to themselves...

They believe that just because the phone's owner agrees that it's legal. If my wife accepts a ToS that allows them to monitor her, and her phone is in my room listening to me... That's definitely NOT legal. This really needs to hit court sooner rather than later. This is wiretapping, this is illegal REGARDLESS of the ToS/EULA nonsense they want to claim covers them.
Edit: Even in one-party consent states this is illegal.
Let's also remember that these phones are sold worldwide, and it's foolish to declare something globally legal.
