I won't click the original source link, but according to the top commenter it's rife with pro-Russian propaganda. That would explain the "they're trying to make everyone voice recognizable even from a payphone tap" BS.
I mean how in depth? Install wireshark and see what exists? Don't trust that? Install a router, route traffic through there and examine it exiting the router. I don't trust microsoft, but I don't trust blog articles either. I've been planning to see what cortana is doing anyway so maybe this will spur me.The only thing that will settle it is an in-depth traffic analysis from someone trusted and neutral.

Yes, it'd be nice to see a traffic analysis done from the router, over a period of time, from someone who knows more about analyzing network traffic than I do. If Windows is capturing and dumping all your keystrokes, for example, there ought to be ways of testing for that - e.g. compare network traffic when you're doing nothing to the traffic when you type a lot into programs that should not use the network (e.g. a text editor). The traffic will probably be encrypted but you might be able to get an idea from the volume. (Do this with "get to know me" turned off.)
