Facebook says it would totally never use its patent to spy on you with your phone’s mic

Remember back in WWII and the Cold War days when “they” actually hid bugs all over so “they” could spy on the general population?

Nowadays, “they” don’t have to do a thing to monitor everything we do.

Instead, we, ourselves, buy the bugs from Amazon and others, place those devices in the most strategic places in our homes, and then connect that personal spy network to the internet for “them”! Yay!

We willingly install free surveillance apps on our phones, if not already installed from the manufacturer, which allow “them” to monitor and record everywhere we go and everything we do and say and who all we say and do it with! Yay!

And “they” don’t have to do anything at all but sit back and monitor and collect the data.

And there ain’t no stopping it now.

Instead, we are taking things to another level with self-driving cars, even building AI into killer robots capable of operating autonomously in the air, on the ground, as well as in and under water for the people who watch over us.

We won’t, but while we still can, this might be a good time to step back a bit from whatever it is we are creating and embracing.

But we won’t. Not until some nasty negative feedback, aka “unforeseen consequences”, makes us. It’s just that way.
