That would be an infringement on the civil liberty of a person. It should not happen.

And not just the companies anymore. Third parties are hacking these things and watching/listening to what you do. It’s creepy

Phones are the real bug now. Have no use for 'Alexa' unless she really digs me and runs her fingers through my hair on the way home. Seriously, everything is connected now with little effort and I still suspect my brand new cable box has a mini cam .

LWhat we know from Vault7, Year Zero so far:
The CIA has capabilities beyond the NSA, with over 5,000 hackers and agents working for them around the world with no checks and balances.
The CIA can turn most consumer electronics with a microphone into a listening device potentially without a warrant or court order.
The CIA is responsible for thousands of pieces of malware, and have backdoors and zero-day access to most major computer systems such as Mac, Linux, and Windows as well as mobile operating systems such as the iPhone and Android.
The CIA can fake the fingerprint origin of a hack to make it look like it came from a foreign agent hacker or country.
Under Obama, the CIA built the most powerful cyber attack arsenal of malware costing the American tax payers over $100 billion+, and lost most of it for free on the darknet.
The CIA has lost control of its hacking tools. They are not classified or copyrighted to prevent the public from knowing about them and they have been leaked. They are potentially available on the darknet and can be used by any hacker, against anyone.
The CIA can hack modern cars and trucks to kill or injure drivers without detection.
The CIA can also potentially bring down or remote control airplanes.
The CIA developed a tool to make Android phones spy on WiFi networks around them.
The CIA can bypass encrypted messaging applications including WhatsApp, Signal, Telegram, and Wiebo. Meaning if you use these apps the CIA can still read your messages by hacking your phone OS instead.
The CIA has real-time analysis of all conversations on Skype.
The CIA has developed tools to hack Apple’s iTunes.
The CIA can bypass most anti-virus software, including NSA grade anti-virus software.
The CIA can hack computers using vulnerabilities in the VLC video player.
The CIA operates in Europe out of the Frankfurt consulate to spy on Europe and other countries.
The CIA can evade existing forensic tools and capabilities.
The CIA dramatically increases proliferation risks. Their hacking capabilities will lead to escalation by hacking groups and foreign governments.
The CIA is massive, and consists of dozens of divisions and sub-agencies.
