Are you using the #linkedin app?
Maybe you should check what permissions it has.
I did and saw that it had access to my microphone. Why?
I suspect that this has been used by #cmg #coxmediagroup to listen in to my conversations for ad targeting purposes. They call this #activelistening
I call it #surveillance capitalism.
Anyone want to confirm /deny my suspicions?
