      Do you have any source on this? I have never seen a similar article about phones sending a 3D map of your home to the manufacturer.

      These arricles are meant to be rage bait for the techno-illiterate. As you said, cell phones mapped your house long ago as well as your smart TV, or any appliance that requires an internet connection.

      People traded in their privacy for convenience.

        Phones have never mapped your house and how would they do that? Tvs don’t think it would map but yes they watch you.

        Privacy is not worthless just being one bad actor took it. It still is worth pursuing in all layers where possible.

        Both can be true. Probably shouldn’t make a regular practice of numbing out to this sort of info with the platitude “Big deal, my phone and facebook already have my data anyway. Might as well give you my mother’s maiden name.”

      I wasn’t aware about this with regards to mobile phone tbf. I know you are spied upon on your phone camera, but mapping the house with the phone? Do you mean like Dark Knight stuff?

        Your phone camera is not spying on you.I mean this stuff is not hard to prove why doesn’t one of these people who think this prove it.

        Mapping like that is probably mostly done through bluetooth and wifi triangulation.

      I picture the phone doing it the way it was done in The Dark Knight. That scene when Lucius Fox was in China and had to volunteer a phone to security.
