Are Facebook Really Spying on Us? If so what can we do about it?

I came across and article recently that reported on some recent patents that Facebook have applied for.

One of them was to gain access to the front facing camera on your phone to record your micro expressions and then feed them into an AI driven Algorithm that would process them and learn more about your feelings towards certain content being shown to you on the timeline.

Sounds incredible and at this stage it might be a bit far fetched. However there might come a time when this type of surveillance become commonplace on all of our devices.
As it stands, Social Media companies are already able to know more about us than we would care to concede to, so if they start to use the Cameras in our phones to gather even more information about us, one could say they may know more about us than ourselves.

If you are concerned about this I have provided some tips in the video as to how you can prevent facebook and IG from getting access to your camera.

Let me know what you think. Is this a concern or do you think it will never eventuate?
