    Can you point to a writeup of how to do this? The only step beyond this that I have seen is a recommendation to use OpenBSD as a firewall in a virtual machine.

    Technicalities and choice of words are amazing ways to deny what isn't exactly happening here. For example, why use the word 'recording' when the problem is accessing the microphone at all... Facebook doesn't have to &
