After spending some time in a cove, living off freshly caught fish in view of nobody but the sun, the birds and the saltwater inhabitants, I returned to find my dusty phone wanting to update lots of apps. I soon clocked that 100million people have updated their Facebook Android app signing the T's & C's that allow Facebook to read their text messages, access and record audio from their handset and take photo's at any timefrom their camera phone.
I've reconciled myself with the fact that we are watched by CCTV in public places and that Facebook and other apps sell our data to 3rd parties but for a company to have access to the camera on my phone and the audio that accompanies this is nothing more than the Owellian World detailed in 1984. You'll know which one is my phone, it'll be the one with the microphone picked out, gaffa tape over the lens and no Facebook application installed...Your Phone is Their CCTV
