There are multiple instances of third parties trying to inject code that while it seemingly worked well, will be an exploit in very specific cases. The times that they have been caught doing so upsettingly low. I guarantee there are backdoors installed into Linux. Also, all software, no matter how secure is able to be attacked with enough time and resources, which governments have almost unlimited of.

The hardware aspect is even more troubling, from some articles I read Intel was installing 3g devices into their processing chips. These were meant for business applications and were "off" by default on consumer devices. But the government could turn them on whenever they wanted and listen to every bit of information on your computer at the PROCESSOR level. Thats scary, and who knows what other types of backdoors are in hardware. Those are almost impossible to find and definitely impossible for consumers to mitigate aside from making their own.

Just because you run Linux, and assuming there are no vulnerabilities in Linux (haha fat chance), it doesn't matter because your hardware is fucked.

You may also be interested in reading about TEMPEST. Which is even more relevant today than it was when it was first uncovered. http://www.surasoft.com/articles/tempest.php

every device, phone,computer,tv, radio have internal tracking/monitoring....every thing you do, EVERYTHING is recorded and stored, ever usb/external drive/card etc that you have every used to store/ retrieve data in any of the above devices has been "captured" and stored also. All of it.

your NWO is merely corporate fascism...there is a line....on one side is the monetary system and the private owners, along with their associates....their associates being.....tech companies, military, industrial prison,media, insurance, energy, etc....and you are on the other side of the line.....all these "corporations" work hand in hand to control you....AND IT'S SO EASY TO DO....you're just a bunch of epsilons who willingly WANT to be enslaved.

You could take your average debt slave from say the 1940's and say "here is this really cool device, you can do this, that and the other" BUT if you own it and use it, it's going to record and store everything you do" they'd take it and throw it on the ground and stomp on it.....but you? haha.....you want it, your so fucking lazy and enamored by flashing lights that you would give up your basic right to privacy for gadgetry...MEDIA MISSION ACCOMPLISHED!!!!....your just a bunch of stupid idiots who don;t get your world and that's why you come to places like this, run by the military ....haha....oh noes, voat the super cool new place is gonna hide my post....swiss my ass....haha....It must be fun working for the bankers, I mean your herd is so easily swayed

Wasn't there an article about Google leadership working closely with some intelligence agency or contractor? And then there was the Bilderberg list that had the owner - Sergie or whatever - as an attendee.

Yeah, "Do No Evil" my ass.

Until there's a second source I wouldn't really trust this story.

RT is a propaganda station.

In the same sense, every network connected voice controlled device has the potential of spying on us. I think that people should keep an eye of what is transmitted from our devices. When there is an open mic, there is always risk.

maybe google is doing the 'good' thing by listening to us and taking actions according to what we want. for all we know their decisions are being made by a quantum computer.

I've had the thought that possibly with good people like you and me opting out of the blanket spying, our influence will be lost and we will end up with the worst of outcomes. could it be better to let them spy and be thankful at least someone is listening and hopeful that they'l improve things the way you want?

I had it on my comp as a backup to firefox, It got promptly uninstalled.

I said years ago that I'd never use Chrome because Google would use it to spy on you. And they called me crazy.

Yah, today was the day that I uninstalled chrome and started using DuckDuckGo. Google kept pushing further and further, but I'm done now. I urge others to do the same.

Do no evil.... Company motto. god I use android have chrome on multiple computers guess Google knows more about me than I do.
