OPSEC just means you're thinking

[TWP]

I debated posting this link, but on thinking about it, it falls fully into the realm of OPSEC (operations security).

The whole point is condensed in the final paragraph of this article:

"While Facebook claims that they may not be actively listening to your conversations, the idea that you have given permission for the company to access your microphone and text message data simply by downloading and installing the app is certainly disconcerting for those completely unaware that they have given such privacy-shattering permissions to Facebook. "

A key element here is: how much do you trust someone else to NOT use information about you, about your location and about your spoken and written messages?

My level of paranoia on this is fairly high, so please don't run screaming into the woods just because I think this is a problem, but do, please, consider safety and the old saw from WWII: "Loose Lips Sink Ships"...

PS I don't even own an IPhone, and it bothers me.
