5. Felony If We Did This
Fri May 23, 2014, 12:48 PM
May 2014

So International Business Times reported today that Facebook has admitted that it's app turns the microphone on on your phone and records everything you say around your phone and stores it forever. Imagine what NSA does. They don't need tha app. No wonder everyone's batteries drain faster now. Google said they were going to do this with our computers in 2007. They all say it's to identify music you play on your stereo or to know your habits for commercial use. Are they freaking kidding? Holy crap...so we were right. They are actually not just recording everything you say on your phone but everything you say out loud period. Or what anyone says out loud around you. Wow. So personal info about your kids or secret business information. I think whoever does this should spend the rest of their life in prison or worse. This is the most vile thing I have ever heard. You don't have to have an app to do this either. Either get a protective phone bag to shield the signal or get rid of your cell phone. No wonder journalists, judges, attorneys and politicians are being blackmailed...they know every little thing they have ever said. And law enforcement??? They don't stop at texts or wiretaps. Heads should roll. Wake the hell up people. Facebook got paid millions by NSA to initiate the Prism program we knew but TODAY they admitted part of that is recording and saving everything you or anyone around you has said out loud as long as your phone is on...and if it's off they can remotely turn it on and make it look like its off. An attorney told me they have been doing this to pot growers but it's led law enforcement out of control. They know your kids secrets, your secrets and your mothers secrets whether it be sexual, political, business or anything at all. I've never heard anything more evil and it's a total reality not just crazy talk. They should pay for my battery too cause this tech drains them quickly.
