Facebook并不是在监视你说的每一句话。如果是这样的话，你的数据计划会更高，电池寿命也会更差。

然而，应用程序正在监听你的当面对话并利用这些对话显示广告的阴谋论依然存在。因此，东北大学的研究人员决定对此进行研究，测试了17000个Android应用程序，并监控它们发送回家的信息种类。

这是克什米尔山，为Gizmodo写的关于他们研究的文章：

Sorry, c***piracy theorists: They found no evidence of an app unexpectedly activating the microphone or sending audio out when not prompted to do so. Like good scientists, they refuse to say that their study definitively proves that your phone isn’t secretly listening to you, but they didn’t find a single instance of it happening. Instead, they discovered a different disturbing practice: apps recording a phone’s screen and sending that information out to third parties.

没错：应用程序不会监视你使用麦克风，但令人惊讶的是：它们正在监视你！事实证明，免费应用程序拍摄应用程序内活动的截图和视频是一种相当普遍的做法。希尔：

The strange practice they started to see was that screenshots and video recordings of what people were doing in apps were being sent to third party domains. For example, when one of the phones used an app from GoPuff, a delivery start-up for people who have sudden cravings for junk food, the interaction with the app was recorded and sent to a domain affiliated with Appsee, a mobile ****ytics company. The video included a screen where you could enter personal information—in this case, their zip code.

叫我梦想家吧，但如果我们都不再担心麦克风的神话，我们就有精力为正在发生的普遍侵犯隐私的行为感到不安。也许 吧。
