If he gives access to his contact list, yes.
But I can't see a situation in which Facebook turning on a mike to record conversations is not a huge violation of privacy.
Do they do that?
- Silhouette 12y agoBut I can't see a situation in which Facebook turning on a mike to record conversations is not a huge violation of privacy. Do they do that? FYI, this is mentioned in the article. It also linked to this article on that specific issue: http://www.forbes.com/sites/kashmirhill/2014/05/22/facebook-wants-to-listen-in-on-what-youre-doing/ http://www.forbes.com/sites/kashmirhill/2014/05/22/facebook-... Short version: It's not as simple as "they record all your conversations", but yes, they can and do turn on your phone's mic.
