Apparently some attackers are looking to use the gyroscope to listen to the voice of people by looking for high frequency data: https://wikileaks.org/hackingteam/emails/emailid/66665 > Firefox for Android lets > websites access the full 200 hertz frequency. That means Android users > visiting a malicious site through Firefox could be subject to silent > eavesdropping via javascript without even installing any software.

padenot mentioned that only a few devices have the capabilities of having gyroscope data at 200Hz. Daniel, do you know who could look at this privacy issue?
