    "As reported by Business Insider, the conversation according to SAI sources, went as follows.

    Zuck: Yeah so if you ever need info about anyone at Harvard

    Zuck: Just ask.

    Zuck: I have over 4,000 emails, pictures, addresses, SNS

    [Redacted Friend’s Name]: What? How’d you manage that one?

    Zuck: People just submitted it.

    Zuck: I don’t know why.

    Zuck: They “trust me”

    Zuck: Dumb fucks."

    Time to get microfiber cloth in addition to all my other privacy settings. Wipe that thing clean before taking pictures.

      You can’t clean a sensor so easily. Especially on phones.

        I think we’ll need some apps to generate artificial and randomized dust and scratches.

        yeah, should probably buy a scratcher to scratch your camera every so often 😉

    I wonder if this has anything to do with the What’s App Privacy notice.

        As you cannot know if they are able to decrypt it, I would hedge my bets and just assume they can.

      I wish there were phones sold without cameras, especially the “self” one. Always freaks me out having that in my face all the time…
