   We often hear the question, "Is my phone listening to me?" The reason you might think this is a bit complicated, but we break it down with a short video on Digital Rights Bytes: https://www.digitalrightsbytes.org/topics/is-my-phone-listening-to-me

     @eff “experts say”. I’ll take that with a pinch of salt please. Experts also said that Apple wasn’t doing planned obsolescence. Experts also said that it’s ok that Facebook and Google are collecting metric tons of data on us because they are “anonymizing the data”.

     Experts are sitting around to be proven wrong. It’s fine to promote privacy badger and other tools to improve people’s general privacy. But do not use a theory whose proof is around the corner.
