The notion that Facebook is secretly recording your microphone is beyond idiotic and shows how ignorant the general population is (and consequently how vulnerable). It is the fantasy of an aspiring but untalented screenwriter. Facebook isn’t spying on your microphone because they don’t have to. They know enough about you to monetize the shit out of you from things that are out in the open. When the populace trusts Facebook and Google with nearly their entire digital lives, and the DOJ lets these giants acquire the rest without a fight, why would they need to resort to clumsy subterfuge?
