Has to be "fake news."   It describes Bose as a "high-end audio equipment maker."   A judge would throw that out in a heartbeat.

Doesn't seem to be fake news, not yet proven the suit has merit.

My understanding is it's in the Bose "App" software, not the product.

Yes.

It's really just the tip of the iceberg. Google/Microsoft/Apple/Netflix/etc have all been collecting our data for years. Smartphone are halfway into the next step... adding ever present wireless headsets to deliver curated content and advertising into our brains is going to be the end goal.
