Not my title! I do think we are being listened to. And location tracked. And it's being passed on to advertisers. Is it apple though? Probably not is my take away from this article, but I don't trust plenty of others, and apple still does

It must be very situational on when it works, because the FBI has specifically cited a face mask as a reason that it still hasn’t caught whoever left a bunch of bombs laying around on Jan 6.

Interesting. I can imagine a scenario where the resolution of CCTV is low enough that a mask would impede recognition in that instance. It's definitely not something I would want to rely on, though.
