Facebook “Listening” To You

An interesting update to Facebook’s mobile app:

Facebook can now listen in on your activities with a new audio recognition feature for its mobile app that can turn on smartphones’ microphones to “hear” what songs or television shows are playing in the background. Facebook identifies the music or TV shows it hears, and can tell the world you’re currently listening to. This is an OPT-IN Feature that I would OPT-OUT of. So, for privacy concerns – don’t activate that feature.
