Although the company has fixed the bug with a software update, it cannot completely ignore the threat to privacy from the Google Home Mini and other smart speakers like it.
Google Home and other smart speakers are listening in on your conversations all the time. They actively include "hotwords" or "wake words" such as "OK Google", "Hey Google", "Hey Alexa". These wake words act as triggers for the device.
