I knew they had to be doing this so I turned off all mic permissions. One day it pissed me off so much I started keeping my phone off completely unless I needed to use it

It might be an easy to just stop using Facebook really.

I've had enough time to work out which of my relatives are racist, so I don't really need it anymore.
