Phones listening to us and Facebook/YouTube/Etc. feeds.

I don’t use the apps on my phone, browser only, and I notice MANY things I talk about end up in the FB feed and YouTube suggestions, even made up words!

Anyone else getting this? Seems like it would make for a gigantic class action lawsuit.

You’re just paranoid…

Wait, embedded adds just suggested psychiatric counseling sessions for paranoia.

The prompt to regulate cookies on a website is empty promises, they harvest everything regardless.

Next thing you’re gonna say is that the mods here are reading what we type. Crazy!

 

[lol]

This has been going on for ages.

Indeed, but I literally saw four things nearly in a row today, it’s ridiculous now. How it hasn’t been litigated is beyond me.

I've had stuff that I've only thought about show up in my YouTube feed. Now that is extremely creepy.

Yeah I said a made up word several times once and a video entitled with that word popped up.

It’s time to go 90’s mode. Who’s with me?

I've been wanting to switch to a flip phone for awhile now. Less distractions, less listening to conversations, it's a win-win

A buddy from work once walked out of a hardware store (phone in his pocket), and saw they had log splitters for sale close to the exit. He didn't say anything about them, just noticed that they were there and went home. Opens his phone at home, and there's an ad for log splitters. He said it's possible that it's only a coincidence, but it freaked him out anyway. Weird stuff

Well that and along with all this age verification crap I'm considering going to a flip phone as well. I'm not uploading my face nor my ID to use the internet let only any website. We all know it's not about protecting the kids when our government is filled with pedos.

Googles new terms of service just came out and I suggest everyone take a look at this video.

Same, I'll never upload my photo or ID either. They just say it's to protect the kids so people who don't think or pay attention will go along with it willingly, and everyone who opposes it will get demonized for not caring about kids' safety.

Not a fan of those terms of service. Thanks for posting the video, I hadn't heard anything about this yet

100% agree with you.
