"Is My Phone Listening to Me?"
This is what Julia Angwin answered in The Markup - I highly recommend subscribing!
It's also exactly what students in the FSA ULaval Executive MBA program asked me this weekend in the #marketing class.
The short answer is “No”.
The "it depends" answer is: it is technically possible for spyware to activate the camera and the mic - and much more.
In fact, even here, in Canada, "the RCMP revealed it had used “on-device investigation tools” or ODITs – spyware that allows cops to access text messages, a device’s microphone and camera, as well as other sensitive data."
