Verify what, exactly? Verify literally every claim someone else makes that Facebook denies? There's simply no smoking gun to indicate that they're listening to phone audio. It would be extremely surprising if security researchers had not discovered them secretly doing this, or that a concerned employee wouldn't have leaked it to the press.
I don't trust these companies either, but that doesn't mean I believe any and all negative claims made about them, particularly claims that don't have any evidence supporting them other than the occasional well-targeted advertisement.
- harry8 7y agoSo now flip it and decide whether you trust positive claims that facebrick are not doing whatever. That is what we are discussing, here, now. I don't trust those positive claims that facebook are not misbehaving. If you do, I can't help you. Is that evidence of their nuclear weapons program? Obviously and clearly not. I have never here put forward evidence of their misbehaving. That continues to come regularly. Whether it is this or somenthing else more will come is a reasonble bet. Should you trust them or anyone who says without evidence "we are doing nothing wrong" That is being addressed here. Do you? Really? So much pushback for taking exception to an anonymous defence with no evidence. Surely taking exception to anonymous claims with no evidence because "trust me" is what every single one of should do. Especially when we've been burned so very, very hard. Until there are real consequences for telling lies trusting facebook denials is naieve in the extreme. Fool me a 56th time what am I? An owner of a facebrick account.
