Next theyll strike a deal with panasonic so they can have camera access to peoples living rooms n bedrooms. Its absurd. And we all know they use this info secretly and write it off as a confidential informant so they dont reveal their source dirty muh fuckaz
Already in play.
Reports from 2010ish showed a load of folks breaking open their comcast cable boxes and finding cameras and mics. Apparently they only pick up body types and voice tones to know who they are advertising to (male/female + adult/child), in order to direct the ads in a personal way. Apparently Google admitted they employ this tech as well, gathering ambient noise from internal pc mic in order to "better direct the advertising experience".
You are being market researched

what bothers me is that these tactics are quickly picked up by law enforcement and put to their use, without anyone asking the obvious questions about whether they're breaking any statutes or crossing any boundaries of civil and/or constitutional rights. They'll just do it until A. they get caught at it, and B. dragged kicking and screaming (but we have a 'right' to spy on people we 'think' 'might' be criminals!) through the court system and FORCED to cease and desist. Cold comfort, that...
Google "fusion centers."
There are apps out there to protect your privacy on android, you should use Afirewall to allow or disallow certain things from dialing home, also location cache viewer, masqued crusader, and others.This is why I only buy a webcam with a physical shutter, and a mic I can unplug. And I shut my computer OFF when I'm not using it. These are no longer 'paranoid' tactics; they're now necessary to maintain at least a shred of privacy...
As for my cell, I got Android specifically so I could turn off the GPS and location tagging, both on the phone and for pictures. The problem is that I don't trust the software not to have a backdoor built into it for the spooks- and for private dicks. Speaking of, when word got out that smartphones had these services and they had to be actively shut off- default was 'on'- many private detectives went on record, complaining that 'their' favorite means for tracking people had been publicized! Screw 'em!
