He comes to you and offers $200k/year base salary plus all the other benefits of a full time job. your primary role would be doing the dirty work in the mobile apps:
>recording users through the camera and microphone without their knowledge and send to advertisers
>stealing all of their photos to send to advertisers if they have granted access to photos (which most people do)
>he has already hired people to kill you if you snitch about these practices

What would you do?

Do it and then snitch anyway. I would upload all the information to as many blockchains as possible, send shit to wikileaks and every other such organization and upload to youtube, pastebin and the like while making it clear that Zuck plans to kill me for this.

Not condoning this breach of privacy but wouldn’t the general public know pretty quickly if these detestable features were being implemented? On the other hand, companies like Apple can be incredibly secretive. I can’t imagine the pressure of being someone who is responsible for safeguarding critically sensitive information for a big tech company...wonder how much they get paid and the possible ramifications on the employee in the case of an information leak

The general public is dumb as shit. They think Hitler was a literal comic book villain and 80 million Germans just became evil over night. They do not for a moment consider their motivations or why it happened the way it did.

hmm yeah was bothered one day I texted my brother about some medical device he lent a family member. Then the next day I see ads of the similar usage appear in my youtube WTF!!!!!!

True, I’ve heard people talk about that so the audio recording part may very well be true, but we have yet to see complaints about photos or videos being leaked from their phones (or maybe I’m wrong?)

>>12498338
I meant that word would get out that the company is doing invasive things like this, for example the anon in this scenario could have their company email compromised somehow and suddenly all of the the implementation details made public

Go to work at Microsoft or Oracle instead. Facebook are known slavedrivers and even though they have great free food and big bucks, they don't let you have your vacation time that they supposedly give you.

As for the ethics of recording your stuff and spying on you, nobody forced you to install the app. It's your own fault.

It's already known that they do all those things, and disclosing them wouldn't have any impact. Just look at snowden, assange etc.
Not trying to be fatalist but if you want to do something about this it would be more productive to focus on avoiding these sites, teaching people about encryption, open source software, etc.

You're probably seeing a relationship in a coincidence or you gave them the information and allowed them to collect it but you didn't realise.
