Big Brother is real - but it's not the government, it's the corporations. Facebook has patented a technology to embed high pitched audio (beyond the range of human hearing) into TV advertisements that will trigger your phone to record background noise. They claim this is to find out if you're actually watching the ads or if you mute the TV, leave the room, etc.

The reality is of course that they could record whatever they want.

Personally I dropped Facebook over a year ago. I recommend you do the same.

More bad optics for Facebook. They have sold everything there is to sell for those who access their platform. So, they need more information to sell. Enter video.
