Apple co-founder and dancing queen Steve Wozniak has said that he is getting worried about everything these days – particularly Facebook.

TMZ asked Wozniak for his thoughts on whether our devices are listening to us -- and if we’re trying to have private conversations, should we be worried? Woz said: “I’m worried about everything. I don’t think we can stop it, though. However, everything about you -- I mean, they can measure your heartbeat with lasers now, they can listen to you with many devices. Who knows if my mobile listening right now? Alexa has already been in the news a lot.”

Woz said if you have an iPhone it is not supposed to be listening to you, unless Apple has been lying to us.

Woz went on: “I worry because you’re having conversations that you think are private... You’re saying words that really shouldn’t be listened to, because you don’t expect it. However, there’s almost no way to stop it. People think they have a level of privacy they don’t. Why don’t they give me a choice? Let me pay a certain amount, and you’ll keep my data more secure and private then everybody else handing it to advertisers. “

When asked if we should “get rid of Facebook and Instagram”, Woz said: “There are many different kinds of people, and some the benefits of Facebook are worth the loss of privacy. However, to many like myself, my recommendation is -- to most people -- you should figure out a way to get off Facebook.”
