So, is Facebook listening in to your phone calls or not?

摘要

Facebook has found itself at the centre of yet another privacy scandal after the social network was accused of eavesdropping on users' private phone conversations via the microphone on their mobile devices. In a US news report, Kelli Burns, a communication professor at the University of South Florida, claimed to have tested her theory by discussing certain topics privately on her phone, only to be subsequently presented with related adverts in her Facebook feed. Facebook was quick to deny the accusation, issuing a statement that said, "Facebook does not use your phone's microphone for ads or news-feed stories."
