Facebook has consistently denied allegations that it listens to its users' conversations through their phone's microphone, but a new document suggests the tech giant has not ruled out doing so in the future.
Facebook users have been sharing circumstantial evidence for several years that suggests Facebook snoops on their private conversations in order to deliver more personalised ads. In April, US lawmakers finally brought the concerns to CEO Mark Zuckerberg in a hearing about data misuse on the firm's platform.
The social media firm released a 454-page document this week to follow up with questions posed to Mr Zuckerberg, after he was criticised for evading some of the most important ones.
Documents can be found here:
Zuckerberg Testimony
Responses to Commerce Committee
Responses to Judiciary Committee
[Editor's Note: the two response documents are 229 and 225 pages, respectively for a total of 454 pages.]

We are just lucky that most people arent horrible
Since when? Work retail for a few months and you will quickly understand what you just said is a lie. You even suspect it with your "corporate culture is starting to become normal and accepted".
It is the new aristocracy.
They have always been around. Do you really think the east india company or rome was something that happened recently? How about a bit further back. "Again I tell you, it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for someone who is rich to enter the kingdom of God" Mathew 19:24.
"peak capitalism" is a meme designed to make you think you are smart and others are stupid to let you dismiss ideas out of hand. You are being manipulated into an opinion that is poorly thought out that lets you justify stealing from others. They call fools like you 'useful idiots' manipulated and safe in your poor ideas that fail when applied to your real life. Like I said most people are not good people. They only are as good as they can get away with.
Hell, you post AC to protect yourself. Why? Because you do not want people to know what you are saying on the internet. Why? Because justice of the mob is a real thing.
