What are you going I learn from it. Since the invention of the smart phone this has been a thing. There is nothing new here and if you think it is then you are just a moron plain and simple...
Why are we surprised? Weren't we paying attention to the Patriot Act of 2001 and every other iteration of privacy laws sonce then? There has been more than one whistle blower on the subject. Did we forget about Ed Snowden and others? Pegasus isn't new. This has been discussed and reported by 60 Minutes and every major publication.
@@Anil18834It's not surprising at all to me because I've been paying attention. Tech companies can already do much of what they're talking about but this is on that 1984 level.
Remember people saying, "if you have nothing to hide why worry?" I never bought into that. Of all the rights we enjoy in this democracy, for me right to privacy is perhaps the most important, it's up there with freedom of speech.
Saying you don't need right of privacy because you've done nothing wrong is like saying you don't need freedom of speech because you have nothing to say. Once it's gone it's gone
Let’s face it. Everyone has *something* to hide. It’s natural. But when the government decides your innocuous foible or misunderstood eccentricity is a tool to use against you, that’s the danger.
Always remember, you can run and hide from man, but you cannot hide from God. Man sees what you do in public, but God sees what you do in secret. Privacy protects you from abuse, but take care not to use it to get away with things that are wrong!
Imagine your informations on a sex trafficking website? Or your family photos all over the internet or your face placed on porn website, that can and could happen ! We just have to be careful.... Your privacy is important it's not about having or not anything to hide ,it's all about a world full of psychos who have nothing else to do but are taking pleasure destroying hard working people for fun or just destroying people's lives in general ,my dear one has to always be cautious of his privacy. The world is going banana nowadays!
Saying you don't need the right to privacy just because you don't need it right now is the same as saying you don't need freedom of speech because you don't want to use it right now.
The tool isn't the issue, the broken morality that abuses it is. Everything can be abused, but we wouldn't want to go back to living by ourselves in caves. After all, even a cave can be sealed shut by someone willing to do it to you.
I’m not a phone addict. I’ve caught my IPad spying and told Siri to go f#$/ off. She responded in an offended way which was equally unsettling. It’s smart to reboot everyday and put your phone or iPad on airplane mode at night. *Buy those plastic sliders that cover your camera when not in use*

I am a victim of phone hacking and I a not able to stop people who are doing this by changing my SIM card over and over again. Due to the perpetual sim changing, I have no old data or numbers that I must have to have. My life is affected by it in many ways, since ever conversation and moves that I have also being discussed by those people and most of the time I see their reaction vividly, whether it is positive or negative. In a world where privacy right is dodged only an act of violence and aggression will keep thriving. Not every crime is a real crime. Some murders and crimes happen as a result of not getting justice. Maybe….the only thing you can do is to give them a lesson in a mysterious way, so that they know there is justice called … ‘ An eye for an eye!’
This is Orwell's Big Brother, the only difference is that Orwell did not predict that the public would enthusiastically purchase the equipment used to watch them.

@@zombies4evadude24 basically all the 20th century sci-fi predicted dystopian futures rolled into one. I can think of several more that were missed off the list, Orwell's 1984 (he only got the date wrong), and the story line to the film Soylent Green. What is it about society that drives it to the dark side? Maybe it's entropy related, there are far more ways for the future to go bad than be good.
Those of you dissing Ronan that we already knew this, sure, but he is talking about higher level spying via particular Spyware infection that takes it to a high level of data swiping. Getting grocery ads when you talk spaghetti is one thing; obtaining info to affect governments or commit murder is another.
I agree that happened in Spain during the crisis with Catalonia that they wanted to separate from Spain. I am from there, there were false propaganda also in Google manipulating people obviously they didn’t know very well the language and local slang and were obvious they were foreigners. Few years ago.
If you talk about something with another, you will see ads. Put it to the test, think about something you normally NEVER talk about. Weed, Wheelchairs, Travel Insurance. Talk about it next to your phone, you will see adds.
@jeniferjohnson374 Yes sometimes my phone can be sitting idly and off. And then it turns back on by itself. I'm not the only one having problems with this.
They can screen shot you or anything you're phone is facing, they can track your location from your phone and listen to your conversation even when not in use. Why do you think all they sale now is phones with the battery sealed inside the phone?
It is good to see Ronan Farrow again. Considering the sea change in power that is about to occur, this information is salient and relevant to this moment. Our side need to recognize the scope and scale of this new risk and take corrective action to mitigate it. I am a retired consulting technologist and was warning my client twenty five years ago, before the year 2000, the biggest threat we had to worry about was losing control of our privacy. That foreboding prophesy unfortunately came true.
A friend who works in the cyber security field told my family to never use the FB app, they can actually spy on you and listen to what you're saying. Using it on the web is OK. They also recommend turning off the microphone on all apps and turning off your smartphone at night: completely OFF.
Great idea, so if a family member or friend has an emergency, they can't reach you. "Pick up, your kid was in a car crash!" Next message: "never mind, too late."
That's why when you mention something in private conversation it shows up in less that 48 hours on the internet, I've experienced it enough to notice and I'm not the only one. So yeah, it's been going on a very long time.
@@kennyroman9589No, you've got it wrong. Trump is fighting against the new world order. That's why he's turning more power over to the states and pulling our country out of world organizations
I have said things ONE time that Ive never talked about before... And then got multiple ads for that thing the very next day... This has happened a few times.
I ate a KIND bar the other day and immediately got an ad for KIND bars of that flavor. I bought them over a month ago and I don't normally get ads for them. I hadn't spoken, written about, or searched for them recently. I'm going to put a sticker over my laptop camera again, because that seems like the most obvious way the KIND bar could have been detected.
Do you guys know the Murdaugh case? The father killed his son and wife and the phone proof he was there. Minutes before killed the his son was with his friend dog that got hurt on his tail and was sending his friend a snap chat with the image and the father voice got recorded. The father didn’t know his son was recording. Because of bad coverage the message was sent but not received. So his friend couldn’t answer. The father then killed then right away and checked his sons phone but they were nothing because bad coverage. Not answer . The father said he was not there but the son accidentally recorded his father on the snap chat and that’s how he got caught.
“Could be?” It already is! If I have a discussion about something, the next day I start getting advertising related to that subject. I recently was talking to a woman who had an apparent stalker and we talked about her getting a weapon for security. The next day, I had ads for a local gun range.
They were already switching over to plastic by 1972. Ever tried to Perry Mason -- Blunt Object with a plastic phone? You could drop a Stampeding Elephant with a 1968 Bell - Western Electric Desk Top Model, and STILL make a call. Stampeding Elephants DIDN'T DARE come into our neighborhood. THX Ma Bell.
That's why I keep my phone off. I don't allow my phone access to history, location, contacts, photos, mic etc. Turn phone of and clear history and cache regularly.
Our phones will eventually aid in the enforcement of laws typically not focused on because of the amount of people breaking them and the man power required to enforce every infraction witnessed, but now we have smart devices ai, cellphones, mic, gps, dozens of sensors, and cameras in every persons pocket and devices around us that log and report everything going on around it. Lot of data to go through but when the cost to benefit ratio is right you can count on it being used for the most minor things. Show me the man I'll show you the crime is gonna be very easy this time around gonna make the old KGB days look like Sunday school

Ugh. Im so sick of blaming the current or upcoming administration on stuff like this. Edward Snowden warned of this YEARS ago. Stop acting like its new and the new Presidents fault. It needs to stop either way. Maybe this democracy should have handled Edward Snowden differently. Maybe they could start with an apology.
Ha! Let me guess: it won't happen. And even if we receive an apology someday, they will never stop it! Ps: Did you hear Hilary Clinton talking about "controlling" before the election?
They're not saying it's his fault. The implication is that he will allow this technology to be used for nefarious purposes, because he's the most corrupt POS to ever scam his way into the White House.
@deanbardos1950 I'll bet someone makes them, but if they don't, I don't think they'd be that hard to make. I'm not sure, but I think of you just got like a foot of aluminum window screen, folded it to the right size and glued or stapled it, it might do the job. You could wrap it around a fabric pouch to protect your phone. Something like that.
Last time I was bored enough to count them I had 278 photos of my cats & I'm pretty sure there's more now. All they'd find on me is cat/animal stuff & fanfiction. Still doesn't mean I want them getting that though. Unless they pay me for it. I answer google opinions surveys because I get a credit I can use to buy things. But I do that willingly & get something for it. Also good luck finding me. GPS either thinks I'm behind my apartments or I'm the nursing home across the street.
This is been the norm for long years. 3 years ago, I was living in a new area. I never talk about allergies, never. That morning I made a comment, with cell in jean pocket….that evening Google sold me comment to all allergy meds available in the US. BTW, I had been in the US for less than 3 months after being gone 18 years.
It’s like your phone has become your enemy when anyone with access to this type of software decides to target you. Where is Apple and Google with their supposed dedication to privacy, especially Apple with CEO Cook always telling us how Apple makes personal privacy on their devices a number one priority!
@deniskhafizov6827 so apparently you haven't heard of cell tower triangulation. Here's a brief explanation. Your cell phone is constantly "pinging" every tower within range, and each tower records the time, ID, and strength of each ping. If three or more towers record a ping from your phone at about the same time, general physics says that you are somewhere in between those three towers. So they have your general location at that time right there. But they can also get the strength of your signal, and the tower that records the strongest signal is the one you are closest to. Obviously over time if you're moving they can see where you're going. That's the gist, it doesn't require GPS, and it works with any cell phone that connects with towers, whether a smartphone, or an old flip phone. And just to make it even creepier, there are things called "stingrays", which are portable cell "towers" that fit easily in cars, and are used by law enforcement. So if they're looking for you, they get your general location from the towers, and then they drive the streets of that area with a stingray, which your phone will ping to when it's in range. (There's no way to control this other than turning the cell radio on your phone off.) Working on the strength of your signal, they can narrow your location down to which room in a specific house you are, all without you ever being able to tell. Again, NO GPS REQUIRED. This is the general information that's publicly available, but there are some people that say they can track you even when you're phone is off, as long as it has power. This may be because sometimes they can actually turn your phone on remotely, WITHOUT lighting up the screen or signaling you in any way. They can also fly over with a stingray to collect pings from phones on the ground. This is one way they find and target known terrorists. Hope this is helpful.

Aren’t there any privacy laws we can use to win this?
I am a victim of phone hacking and I a not able to stop people who are doing this by changing my SIM card over and over again. Due to the perpetual sim changing, I have no old data or numbers that I must have to have. My life is affected by it in many ways, since ever conversation and moves that I have also being discussed by those people and most of the time I see their reaction vividly, whether it is positive or negative. In a world where privacy right is dodged only an act of violence and aggression will keep thriving. Not every crime is a real crime. Some murders and crimes happen as a result of not getting justice. Maybe….the only thing you can do is to give them a lesson in a mysterious way, so that they know there is justice called … ‘ An eye for an eye!’
This is Orwell's Big Brother, the only difference is that Orwell did not predict that the public would enthusiastically purchase the equipment used to watch them.
Kinds like the jab, huh?
Excellent observation 👌
@RMW565 no, not like the jab.
Our current society is a giant conglomerate between
Brave New World
Fahrenheit 451
1984
Handmaid’s Tale
The Purge (Series)
Especially the first two right now, but the others… They’re coming.
@@zombies4evadude24 basically all the 20th century sci-fi predicted dystopian futures rolled into one. I can think of several more that were missed off the list, Orwell's 1984 (he only got the date wrong), and the story line to the film Soylent Green. What is it about society that drives it to the dark side? Maybe it's entropy related, there are far more ways for the future to go bad than be good.
God bless Ronan, he’s very brave. Extremely important report.
This is disgusting. What ever happened to the right of privacy.
it ended in 2001. where you been? 😂 🍻
Ronan Farrow is very impressive!
His bio Dad Is Frank Sinatra*
;-)
Those of you dissing Ronan that we already knew this, sure, but he is talking about higher level spying via particular Spyware infection that takes it to a high level of data swiping. Getting grocery ads when you talk spaghetti is one thing; obtaining info to affect governments or commit murder is another.
But we also already know about,the usa was found spying on their allies for example , we know about pegasus and who knows what is out there
I agree that happened in Spain during the crisis with Catalonia that they wanted to separate from Spain. I am from there, there were false propaganda also in Google manipulating people obviously they didn’t know very well the language and local slang and were obvious they were foreigners. Few years ago.
If you talk about something with another, you will see ads. Put it to the test, think about something you normally NEVER talk about. Weed, Wheelchairs, Travel Insurance. Talk about it next to your phone, you will see adds.
Ads*
I have noticed exactly this a few times.
I'll buy it

We’re all being surveilled. Have been for many years now.
Everything changed after 9/11 and the patriot act was passed, allowing this to happen.
As soon as they started putting cameras everywhere, I knew that we lost all of our privacy. We need laws to protect us.
Edward Snowden told us that years ago. My iPhone turns on by itself at night.
ITZ LISTENING TO AND 👀 WATCHIN' YOU 😅😂😅😂
Why does your phone turn on at night?
YUP!
@jeniferjohnson374 Yes sometimes my phone can be sitting idly and off. And then it turns back on by itself. I'm not the only one having problems with this.
@ wow. I've had it happen once with an older phone. It was an 8+ iPhone
They can screen shot you or anything you're phone is facing, they can track your location from your phone and listen to your conversation even when not in use. Why do you think all they sale now is phones with the battery sealed inside the phone?
Hmmmm......good point
How do you know this? Tell me more..
Absolutely 💯
@@ladybug4207Its a moronic point. Battery being in place makes no difference.
Can they read my thoughts 💭??😊
“…it could happen here…”
No. It HAS happened here.
100% guarantee.
Really was hoping he would give more ideas on how to protect ourselves, like where to look and what to look for
Hopefully there are more helpful ideas in the documentary.
It is good to see Ronan Farrow again.
Considering the sea change in power that is about to occur, this information is salient and relevant to this moment.
Our side need to recognize the scope and scale of this new risk and take corrective action to mitigate it.
I am a retired consulting technologist and was warning my client twenty five years ago, before the year 2000, the biggest threat we had to worry about was losing control of our privacy.
That foreboding prophesy unfortunately came true.
All newer cars can track you and submit your conversation without a cell phone
Even if you talk to yourself??? That’s what I do haha
I was just saying something similar in another response.
Yes it is scary and it shouldn't be done.

@@kennyroman9589 what a crazy, narrow minded thing to say... 😢they've been spying on us forever..it didn't start with the current administration.
A friend who works in the cyber security field told my family to never use the FB app, they can actually spy on you and listen to what you're saying. Using it on the web is OK. They also recommend turning off the microphone on all apps and turning off your smartphone at night: completely OFF.
Great idea, so if a family member or friend has an emergency, they can't reach you.
"Pick up, your kid was in a car crash!"
Next message: "never mind, too late."
I think they meant reboot
@@smartmarketing173 no, he said "turn it... Completely OFF".
"Reboot" is turning it off and then back on.
Protect Ronan!! 🛡️
You said yes to all manner of social media & other apps. Govt doesn't need to track you when you willingly put a spy in your pocket.
My speculation: big business is tracking and making bucks doing so. Target ads, sell data to other businesses, etc.
If you cant pull battery its not off.
..and with all Phones being created with non-removable batteries. They are doomed!
If you don't want to be tracked where you go leave you phone at home and away from private conversations. That also means no Alexa in your home.
Everybody should say zebra, zebra, zebra everyday and see what your ads look like.
I’m not in the market for a zebra. Tried that last month and now I have 3 😂
I'm seriously going to try it as I've had ads come up based on conversations I've had so often.
ok...lol
How about when a comment is liked like this one? Then will
The ads show up! I’ll come
Back and share 😂
That's why when you mention something in private conversation it shows up in less that 48 hours on the internet, I've experienced it enough to notice and I'm not the only one. So yeah, it's been going on a very long time.
My rotary phone seems to be working fine.
So does mine! Gonna have to make a switch.
Landlines are going out, so the interest in tapping them probably will too.

@@kennyroman9589No, you've got it wrong. Trump is fighting against the new world order. That's why he's turning more power over to the states and pulling our country out of world organizations
Good story Ronan and CNN. I’ve learnt a lot of what apps collect information and adjusting settings to prevent spying.
We all know it. Everyone should be emailing or calling your representatives and senators to demand our privacy rights be restored.
I think it's to late.😮
We're already in dystopia
Thank you Ronan!
This isn’t news. We’ve known this.
Your phone is listening to you and watching you watch this stream
😮 😢
Ronan Sparrow is one of a kind.
I have said things ONE time that Ive never talked about before... And then got multiple ads for that thing the very next day... This has happened a few times.
I ate a KIND bar the other day and immediately got an ad for KIND bars of that flavor. I bought them over a month ago and I don't normally get ads for them. I hadn't spoken, written about, or searched for them recently. I'm going to put a sticker over my laptop camera again, because that seems like the most obvious way the KIND bar could have been detected.
He looks so much like his mom! And this story is creepy AF.
Hasn't this been a thing for years now?
yes! at least 12 or more years but its more insidious than ever.
Pro tip: when going out into the woods to bury a body, leave your phone at home
I always do
😂😂😂😂😂. I’ll keep that in mind for next time.😂😂😂😂
Comments like this is what make the internet fun. 🤣
THEY HAVE PEOPLE ON SOCIAL MEDIA RECORDING THEIR CRIMES FOR CLOUT THESE DAYS 😂
Or just going to the store............. Abolish "Smart" phones
Do you guys know the Murdaugh case? The father killed his son and wife and the phone proof he was there. Minutes before killed the his son was with his friend dog that got hurt on his tail and was sending his friend a snap chat with the image and the father voice got recorded. The father didn’t know his son was recording. Because of bad coverage the message was sent but not received. So his friend couldn’t answer. The father then killed then right away and checked his sons phone but they were nothing because bad coverage. Not answer . The father said he was not there but the son accidentally recorded his father on the snap chat and that’s how he got caught.
“Could be?” It already is! If I have a discussion about something, the next day I start getting advertising related to that subject. I recently was talking to a woman who had an apparent stalker and we talked about her getting a weapon for security. The next day, I had ads for a local gun range.
Ditch your phone. Period.
The surveillance age with unwilling participants.
So we're NOT paranoid!
This people can never stop. It is so shameful
Thank you for this information

They were already switching over to plastic by 1972. Ever tried to Perry Mason -- Blunt Object with a plastic phone?

My phone knows my location even if it's turned off.
Ed Snowden alerted us to this six years ago. Glad to see an investigation from the best.
This can also be used for blackmail. It’s not only to prevent crime.
OLD NEWS… I have been realizing for a long while that we are being watched and listened to
Me also
That's why I keep my phone off. I don't allow my phone access to history, location, contacts, photos, mic etc. Turn phone of and clear history and cache regularly.
Ronan.... My hero
This is totally true..😢
He said "the regime in Madrid" -- that's nonsense.
It also sets up innocent people

They won't find anything of interest on my phone, but I'd still rather they wouldn't do it.
Your name birth social credit card address friends posts wants likes dislikes and everything else......no they won't know anything about you
THEN GET SOME BIZZNESS SO THAT YOUR 📱 PHONE CAN SPY ON YOU😅😂
Our phones will eventually aid in the enforcement of laws typically not focused on because of the amount of people breaking them and the man power required to enforce every infraction witnessed, but now we have smart devices ai, cellphones, mic, gps, dozens of sensors, and cameras in every persons pocket and devices around us that log and report everything going on around it. Lot of data to go through but when the cost to benefit ratio is right you can count on it being used for the most minor things. Show me the man I'll show you the crime is gonna be very easy this time around gonna make the old KGB days look like Sunday school
Maybe nothing of interest right now, but with looming authoritarianism? Everybody disagrees with government policies at some point. Sure we have the First Amendment in the US, but what happens when somebody decides that dissent = terrorism?
I hope and pray we never find out, but with some of the right's rhetoric, I'm not sure.

Ugh. Im so sick of blaming the current or upcoming administration on stuff like this. Edward Snowden warned of this YEARS ago. Stop acting like its new and the new Presidents fault. It needs to stop either way.
Maybe this democracy should have handled Edward Snowden differently. Maybe they could start with an apology.
I agree
Ha! Let me guess: it won't happen. And even if we receive an apology someday, they will never stop it!
Ps: Did you hear Hilary Clinton talking about "controlling" before the election?
He should be pardoned and welcomed home. One of our patriots having to live in Russia is a shame.
They're not saying it's his fault. The implication is that he will allow this technology to be used for nefarious purposes, because he's the most corrupt POS to ever scam his way into the White House.
Congress needs to enact legislation. So while I agree, and you can’t blame POTUS for every little thing, this one’s on them in DC.
We have known this for a few yrs but thks tapper for catching us up on your discoveries
I've been expecting this for a LONG time. Good luck to them.
Carry your phone in a Faraday pouch. It won't be able to receive calls but it also won't be able to send anything out until you take it out.
They have those?
@deanbardos1950 I'll bet someone makes them, but if they don't, I don't think they'd be that hard to make.
I'm not sure, but I think of you just got like a foot of aluminum window screen, folded it to the right size and glued or stapled it, it might do the job.
You could wrap it around a fabric pouch to protect your phone.
Something like that.

I watch a lot of cat videos. But you wouldn't have to spy on me to figure that one out.
Last time I was bored enough to count them I had 278 photos of my cats & I'm pretty sure there's more now.

Still doesn't mean I want them getting that though. Unless they pay me for it.
I answer google opinions surveys because I get a credit I can use to buy things.
But I do that willingly & get something for it.
Also good luck finding me. GPS either thinks I'm behind my apartments or I'm the nursing home across the street.
even that information can be used to manipulate you entirely
Keep your phone or devices in a faraday cage when you are not actively using them.
Finally u guys report on something interesting I put tape on my camera
The screen is a camera lens too, though. That's how selfies are done
I just assume that they watching and listening all the time anyway
This is like the book Fahrenheit 451
No more like 1984 George Orwell
I knew this years ago. To think what we do on or near our phone is private is naive.
This is been the norm for long years. 3 years ago, I was living in a new area. I never talk about allergies, never. That morning I made a comment, with cell in jean pocket….that evening Google sold me comment to all allergy meds available in the US. BTW, I had been in the US for less than 3 months after being gone 18 years.
Wait what? That thing I always carry with 3 camera, a mic , a gps and access to all my e-data can spy on me . 🤯
It’s like your phone has become your enemy when anyone with access to this type of software decides to target you. Where is Apple and Google with their supposed dedication to privacy, especially Apple with CEO Cook always telling us how Apple makes personal privacy on their devices a number one priority!
Just revert to the old Nokia if all you need is to make calls.
Those can still be tracked and record you.
@itsROMPERS... tracked without even a GPS module onboard? well, good luck trying
@deniskhafizov6827 so apparently you haven't heard of cell tower triangulation. Here's a brief explanation.
Your cell phone is constantly "pinging" every tower within range, and each tower records the time, ID, and strength of each ping.
If three or more towers record a ping from your phone at about the same time, general physics says that you are somewhere in between those three towers.
So they have your general location at that time right there.
But they can also get the strength of your signal, and the tower that records the strongest signal is the one you are closest to.
Obviously over time if you're moving they can see where you're going.
That's the gist, it doesn't require GPS, and it works with any cell phone that connects with towers, whether a smartphone, or an old flip phone.
And just to make it even creepier, there are things called "stingrays", which are portable cell "towers" that fit easily in cars, and are used by law enforcement.
So if they're looking for you, they get your general location from the towers, and then they drive the streets of that area with a stingray, which your phone will ping to when it's in range. (There's no way to control this other than turning the cell radio on your phone off.)
Working on the strength of your signal, they can narrow your location down to which room in a specific house you are, all without you ever being able to tell.
Again, NO GPS REQUIRED.
This is the general information that's publicly available, but there are some people that say they can track you even when you're phone is off, as long as it has power. This may be because sometimes they can actually turn your phone on remotely, WITHOUT lighting up the screen or signaling you in any way.
They can also fly over with a stingray to collect pings from phones on the ground. This is one way they find and target known terrorists.
Hope this is helpful.
