Former CIA officer John Kiriakou claims the agency has the ability to remotely access certain smart TVs, activate their internal components, and use built-in speakers as improvised microphones to capture audio — even when the TV appears to be off. His comments echo long-standing concerns raised by earlier leaked documents describing intelligence tools capable of exploiting everyday consumer devices. While tech companies deny giving intelligence agencies direct access, security researchers note that any internet-connected device with speakers or microphones can be vulnerable if security flaws are present. Kiriakou’s claim has revived discussions about digital privacy, government surveillance, and how much autonomy consumers truly have over the technology in their homes. For many, the debate is no longer about whether such capabilities exist, but whether they’re already being used without public knowledge or oversight. - #PrivacyConcerns #DigitalSurveillance #DidYouKnow #DataProtection #Tech

The level of wealth shown in this chart is almost impossible to wrap your mind around. The people highlighted here are part of the extremely rare twelve figure club which means their net worth reaches one hundred billion dollars or more. Seeing these numbers next to common financial milestones like one million makes you realize how massive the gap is between everyday wealth and ultra wealth. Right now there are about fifteen publicly known individuals who have reached this level. Names like Elon Musk, Jeff Bezos, Mark Zuckerberg, Warren Buffett, Larry Page, Sergey Brin and Bernard Arnault dominate the list because they built companies that changed entire industries. Their wealth is tied to innovation, ownership, and long term growth rather than salary. The graphic helps show the scale visually. One million dollars looks tiny when placed next to one hundred billion dollars and that is the entire point. Many people chase their first million while these individuals have created wealth that is one hundred thousand times greater. The world of extreme wealth teaches us something important. Wealth grows exponentially when you own assets that scale and reach global markets. Technology, platforms, and long term business ownership continue to be the vehicles that create new billionaires.

Which person on this list inspires you the most and why do you think they were able to reach this level of financial success?

One of the biggest convicted fraudsters in history is quietly sitting on the second-largest corporate-sized stack of Bitcoin in existence.
