Chrome listening in!

Old news for most of us but a good read nonetheless.

The last paragraph or three really nails it. Remember Google saves everything forever.

Quote:

Early last decade, privacy activists practically yelled and screamed that the NSA’s taps of various points of the Internet and telecom networks had the technical potential for enormous abuse against privacy. Everybody else dismissed those points as basically tinfoilhattery – until the Snowden files came out, and it was revealed that precisely everybody involved had abused their technical capability for invasion of privacy as far as was possible. Perhaps it would be wise to not repeat that exact mistake. Nobody, and I really mean nobody, is to be trusted with a technical capability to listen to every room in the world, with listening profiles customizable at the identified-individual level, on the mere basis of “trust us”. Privacy remains your own responsibility.

Something to be said for the old MacPro which lacks both mic and camera.:D
