A similar dangerous push by Microsoft to listen in to phone calls.

I should point out that Microsoft several months ago announced a similar plan for listening in on phone calls looking for "suspicious interactions" which would be offered via phone carriers. As with the Google case, the ways in which such capabilities could be abused by government entities is immense. And once the service exists, authorities could order it secretly added to anyone's service and used to scan for whatever sorts of conversations or keywords they desired. This is a disastrous direction that these firms are moving in; there are almost no words to adequately explain the nightmare scenarios such systems could easily empower.
