A video showing an NFC-clad sticker on a battery in a smartphone has gone viral today. This video suggests that this smartphone was using an NFC sticker to "record every photo of yours on your battery." What we're going to need to do right now is get very serious and very clear about this situation. Your battery - and the NFC antenna that may or may not be attached to it - is not stealing your photos and sending them to our estranged government overlords. It's just not.
We're not going to give the original source of this conspiracy the time of day - or the link, for that matter - for two reasons. First, the source doesn't need any more attention than they've already got, as they provide no proof for their theory one way or another - all he does is tear a sticker off his Galaxy S4's battery and suggest that the gear inside is part of Samsung's plan to steal your photos.
