No, they haven't. I have. And you know who or what is watching its camera right now? No-one and nothing.
You are living in a world of blinkered denial, and it's exactly the kind of dangerous mindset that creates a citizenship of lackadaisical, numb-minded people who won't mind the fact that their privacy doesn't exist one jot when this is proven.
Now, I'll say it again. What do we know? We know that the NSA and the Five Eyes, as they are called, created, in particular, two software programs called PRISM and Xkeyscore. The sole purpose of these programs was mass surveillance, and drift-netting of any information that can be put through a telephone wire or sent through the air. The information stored - and continually so - includes who you are, what your personal history is, who your friends are, what they look like, what you are thinking, what you are doing, where you work, where you are, where you've been, what your personal history is, the kind of girls you'd like to
**** and what you had for dinner last Wednesday. All this information is collected and retained under the gloss of anti-terrorism when we all know full well that none of this prevents terrorism whatsoever, but what it does do is generate a society which is wholly controlled by its government and who is under the illusion of free-will. In fact, these revelations, when they came out, were so massive and so unbelievable to some, that one forum member here called it a "non-story", meaning either they were stupid or in complete denial. Or both.
What else do we know? We know that the GCHQ created a program called Optic Nerve through which 1.8 million user account photos from random selectees was stored. These weren't targets - or associates of targets - or associates of associates - they were random people. We also know that technology is way ahead of where we think it is. The governments are several more squares along the board than what is in the papers this week. Especially when it comes to phones. How do I know this? For the simple reason that a colleague of mine at work [not a friend of a friend, a gentleman within my team] was given a government phone by mistake on upgrade which contained major features that were, at the time, unseen and unannounced anywhere.
We also know that as time goes on and smartphones develop, the major companies keep adding more and more features in the interests of "user security". It has since been revealed that it is possible for phones to be tracked by GPS even when they're off as long as their battery remains in. This means that users can be tracked too. But wait, how do you know if it's the person who's carrying the phone that is the main user? Simple, fingerprint recognition. It's already here. And what about that pesky battery which can halt the tracking if removed? Just make it unremoveable. Just like Apple have done now.
So what you're saying, taking all this information into account, is that a multinational network of all-powerful governments who created software for recording and tagging citizens and their intimate lives, from their phone conversations to absolutely anything they disclosed on social networks from their sex habits to their showering habits, who authorised the capturing of millions of random user images on Yahoo - apparently without Yahoo's consent - who now, as has also been revealed, were planning on exploiting the cameras in Xboxes, who are possibly further in smartphone development than we know, and have spent time creating attractive, addictive, portable devices which people now consider vital and "Life Companions" to their every sleeping and waking moments
aren't going to use and control those devices - with front and rear facing cameras - to record, video or photograph their users as they have
already been doing as disclosed?
This isn't a massive leap of faith, it's a logical step. It's not ridiculous to believe it, it's ridiculous not to believe it.
