How Facebook Knows What Television Show You're Watching Right Now

Facebook wants to make it easier for users to share what they’re listening to or watching. The company today announced an update to its mobile app that will allow Facebook to automatically detect what song, movie or TV show a user is listening to or watching.

A little creepy..

Facebook also will allow you to instantly post—or post for you —the song you are listening to right or the television show..

And as creepy and privacy-invasive as this is, expect it to be utilized with great ferocity by Facebook users..

It’s either the beginning of big time invasion of privacy or it’s just another example of how much we share, and in this case overshare.

But don’t kid yourself.. it’s not new technology.. Facebook listening to you in 2014 is nothing inventive.  Way back last decade in 2006, Google made some headlines because it was finalizing its plans to listen to you through your computer.

Also let’s not forget how often the power to hear you through your device has been abused. In 2010, school children in Philadelphia were being watched through their school issued laptops by officials. You know.. for ‘inappropriate behavior.  Also in 2012, then CIA chief (before the sex scandal) David Petraus said that the government will listen to us, the citizenry, through our dishwashers. 

So there you have it.. the slippery slope was already traveled .. not Facebook is simply filling the potholes, making it become ‘trendy’ and using Beyonce’s music as a selling point to sell your information to the world. At a very low cost. You’ll do it for free.. 

Welcome to the cloud. The very overshared and eavesdropped cloud..

Feinstein: CIA searched Intelligence Committee computers, violating Constitution and breaking the law

Head of intelligence panel said agency appears to have violated Constitution and federal laws.

Dianne Feinstein didn’t make much of a stink about the AP being spied on.. or innocent people’s cell phones.. or other nations.. or anyone.

But …. THE SENATE COMMITTEE? 

Now they went too far, eh?

Let’s not forget Senator Dianne said in October: Spying on Americans was acceptable.

That was then. This is now…

Maybe the Senate Intelligence Committee had a ‘come to God’ moment on intelligence issues.

Obama’s NSA ‘reforms’ are little more than a PR attempt to mollify the public
Glenn Greenwald, theguardian.com

Obama is draping the banner of change over the NSA status quo. Bulk surveillance that caused such outrage will remain in place

In response to political scandal and public outrage, official Washington repeatedly uses the same well-worn tactic. It…

Sad. Trust no-one. Especially the US government, apparently.

It certainly gave me a chuckle to hear the big announcement that WE WILL STILL COLLECT THE DATA but just not store it. 

He sure did have a lot of flags behind him, though..

How many times do I have to tell you: Your television set (and other appliances) are watching you!

The old timers used to say that if you can watch your TV, your TV can watch you.. And watch you it probably is..

Headlines are popping up around the net tonight saying that Your Smart TV Might be Watching You

The truth is right in front of us.. if we care to understand that today’s science fact was yesterday’s fiction.

Of course hackers can get into your machinery.. and even other forces, such as the United States government or foreign entities all the same..

Never forget this admission: In 2012, General David Petraeus said he wanted to spy on your through your washing machine. And we have come a long way since 2012.

Federal worker: Watch you co-workers

In an initiative aimed at rooting out future leakers and other security violators, President Barack Obama has ordered federal employees to report suspicious actions of their colleagues based on behavioral profiling techniques that are not scientifically proven to work, according to experts and government documents.

Even more from McClatchyDC:

Federal employees and contractors are asked to pay particular attention to the lifestyles, attitudes and behaviors – like financial troubles, odd working hours or unexplained travel – of co-workers as a way to predict whether they might do “harm to the United States.” Managers of special insider threat offices will have “regular, timely, and, if possible, electronic, access” to employees’ personnel, payroll, disciplinary and “personal contact” files, as well as records of their use of classified and unclassified computer networks, polygraph results, travel reports and financial disclosure forms.
