So apparently the Facebook Messenger app can access your phone's microphone and listen to your conversations without your permission. And has access to your call list and shyt.

The government is probably spying on you right now, but that doesn't stop you from going on the Internet.

The US Government wants Edward Snowden to rot in a prison cell for the rest of his life for telling you how much spying they are doing.

There's a certain level of privacy one has to expect. Whether from the govt, Facebook or anyone.

If I buy a pair of Nikes and share that on FB, I'm relatively fine with FB being aware of that and altering ads to show more Nike apparel.

I'm not really okay with them listening to conversations I am having, without my knowledge, in the hopes that I might mention some shoe so they can advertise it on my page.
