    I don't think Facebook does this—it has so much on you already—but it's NUTS that we have microphones we don't control with us all the time.https://twitter.com/newsobserver/status/925683841880154112 …

        I find it hard to believe so many devices have a microphone with no physical off switch—and that we have no choice if we want a computer.

        Yes, because that is something we can confirm. With software, you can never ever never be 100% certain. Just can't.https://twitter.com/DanOlner/status/925708701054402560 …

        Would we be able to trust a physical off-switch even if there was one? With Cameras, you can just stick tape over 'em (like wot Mark Z did).

        When Google or Facebook suggests something you just talked about, denominator is number of suggestions not related to what you talked about.

        In other words, it will occasionally occur by chance especially since they're trying to infer your interests. But we need hardware switches!

        Several years ago a friend received audio to translate which was clearly from unauthorized general public cell phone "hot mike" recordings.

        Have lots of anecdotes from friends. Fairly confident it's picking up something from either the microphone or maybe text messages

        Not sure if anything but would make sense to feed an AI with sounds/convos not to display ads but train it to infer context (for later use)

        Number of people who continue to have reasonable suspicions is a sign of how broken things are in terms of trust. Hardware software, all.

        I stopped posting as much to Facebook because privacy settings changed so often that I felt on unsure ground. Common theme in my interviews.
