How can you know that on a closed system? There's no hardware indicator.

> Thirdly, it is completely and utterly stupid for them to cross the line when it comes to privacy.

Yeah, I'm super glad nobody else has done that because it would be sooooo stupid to do

So it started with being Facebook is secretly recording you. Now it is Apple has secretly embedded a backdoor in the hardware and OS of the phones. Specifically so Facebook can use it to secretly record you.

A conspiracy of thousands of people ? No that doesn't sound crazy at all.


The point is we don’t know what goes on inside our computers, they’re proprietary, they’re closed and we’ve had some pretty shocking revelations already. It’s absolutely not outside the realm of possibility.


It's also possible that Apple has embedded a grenade inside each iPhone.

That's about as likely as them enabling the microphone specifically so Facebook can invade everyone's privacy and commit espionage on a scale never before seen in human history.
