Yeah, this is the most apt comparison, and is barely even a metaphor. Shocking that it's not applied to FB.
If you were voice chatting over Facebook they would probably have to make you aware if they were listening/processing the data for words. By make you aware, it probably means bury it in the ToS on page 784 in a generic and ambiguous way and that is sufficient for court should someone litigate.
Now when you start looking at voice assistants like Alexa, GA, etc. the waters could get muddier.
