this is 100% truth. manually turn off your mic and camera, you don't need them anyway.

That's true and a good idea, but I also want people to consider that ANYTHING WITH A COMPUTER CHIP IN IT, could be used to spy on us, including the basic mechanics of our new TVs, appliances, cars....we don't know the full extent of what spying is even possible now. I focus on the Facebook thing because...it's easily confirmed. But what if they're able to spy on us with things that are not obvious and that don't try to sell things to us? We have to be wary of ANYTHING that has computer chips in it!

Yes, any electronic device but in order to do something with that information it would have to connected to the Internet either wired or wireless unless someone if coming along and downloading data from it in person.

that's quite a list of things, and I never would have thought of them! But with Wifi, maybe we're not really sure of what actually IS connected to the Internet (or whatever the govt is using) at any point! I've heard talk recently that they may come out with light bulbs that have Wifi built in so maybe there is already technology out there (or out there soon) with non-obvious connectivity. Something that might be...in the air, so to speak, rather than something we all individually need to turn on.

I think the core here is that we can't eliminate all the technology (nor would we want to) but we have to change the psychology in our government/corporate world that allows them to think they CAN and SHOULD be able to do this. This kind of thing should be as unthinkable as walking naked down the street....we could all do it I guess, but who really wants to. Spying must become UNTHINKABLE and something the people simply won't accept or permit as the attitude precedes the technology.
