Interesting to have this launch the same day as Edward Snowden's book. I wonder what he has to say about this and the potential surveillance implications. 🤔 I can see how it would be very cool for chatting with family, particularly those over seas or long distance with children. I'm not brave enough to have this in my home just yet. - "Facebook audits a subset of anonymized recordings and has human reviewers listen to them to improve the service" - Although The Verge reports you can opt out of this, it's quite intrusive to know it's a possibility.
