This and who knows what else as time goes on. It might be a good idea to not talk on phones anymore unless you already know the contact.

In this bleak scrape the bottom of the barrel world, I can't help but think it's only a matter of time before customer service departments start selling voice data to the highest bidder. And to counter that there will be services where everyone ends up using voice changers, except close personal contacts. I want this fiction to stay fiction.
