Government, Industry To Use Computer Microphones To Spy On 150 Million Americans

Each time a new flash application requests permission to run on newer computers, you will notice that a privacy setting box pops up asking if the particular website you are surfing can access your microphone and webcam. Though the webcam is external, the microphone is internal and is a standard feature of all new models.

Now Google have announced that they will use in-built microphones to listen in on user’s background noise, be it television, music or radio - and then direct advertising at them based on their preferences.

“The idea is to use the existing PC microphone to listen to whatever is heard in the background, be it music, your phone going off or the TV turned down. The PC then identifies it, using fingerprinting, and then shows you relevant content, whether that’s adverts or search results, or a chat room on the subject,” reports the Register.

Google’s ceaseless drive to dominate Microsoft and reap untold profits has come at the expense of privacy as the company jettison’s its “don’t be evil” mandate and merges itself into a proxy NSA outfit, creating all the tools necessary for the state to suffocate its subjects under an inescapable high-tech panopticon control grid.

    With its recent acquisition of YouTube.com, which it no doubt plans to stuff adverts into every video, it would appear that Google is becoming smoewhat of an advertising monolith. Perhaps the demise of Google is coming to a point.
