      Sometime in the last couple of years iirc, though I’m having trouble finding it, what with all of the articles about “it might look like this is happening but Facebook insists it’s not”.

        Let me know if you do find anything as I’m very keen to hear the inside scoop. It always seemed like nonsense to me as it would be so easy to prove (unexpected mic access, large amounts of data or CPU usage, actual recreation in test conditions) but all the claims (that I’ve seen) are very anecdotal.
