Just about everyone who uses popular social media apps like Facebook and Instagram can tell you an anecdote about advertisements popping into their feeds that are so acutely targeted to them it’s like the apps are listening to their conversations.
Facebook founder and CEO Mark Zuckerberg has called it a ‘conspiracy theory’ that the app accesses the microphone on a person’s phone to listen to conversations and, in turn, target news feeds with related ads.
But it happens so often to people that it gives even the least conspiracy-minded pause, people like WWL-TV Photojournalist Adam Copus.

Consider that human beings aren't so different, and they've info on how MILLIONS most like you--gender, age, politics, consumer preferences, income , psychological profile, neighborhood, etc.--will respond to a particular post, news item, or video meme. With that info in hand, they can, if they choose, even steer your choices more and more into a sort of silo unchallenged agreement, including a prepetual state of alarm.

KZfaq/Google definitely listens on a far deeper level than you realize. It tracks movement. Ambient sounds. Knows when you set your phone down and/or are busy working and throws ads knowing you won't be able to skip them. I've replicated this 100s of times. They hear absolutely everything and will learn the machines your running if you do. Once it recognizes that particular sound it will go to ads. Knowing from past learning that sound means you won't be able to skip ads. It's crazy but true. I've proven it

You chose to believe the sensors of your phone rather than your own senses. You are putting the telephone above you, morally, socially... Just ask old folks how they managed without "smartphones" and learn from them, before they all die and Klaus Schwab makes us eat the bugs. We are learning from our phones and each other instead of learning from parents.

A couple seconds later I refresh my KZfaq page and at the very top there's a KFC ad for mac and cheese. A couple days later I'm talking with him on the phone about whether or not we should have more kids. The next day I'm getting video recommendations such as "Why I Stopped Having Kids" or "Is it Worth Having Kids?" I have never searched for anything to do with that at all. You can't convince me they aren't listening.

Aye, the extent of accuracy possible from "Big Data" collections via Cookies, (digital) fingerprints and (shadow) profiles is kinda creepy - and apps don't need to "listen in" via microphones or the cameras, when they can track our Online Behavior on Social Media and all kinds of websites we're using. And any "free" service is paid for with exactly that data - recently, more and more News Websites even block users, who use ad-blockers for exactly that reason: they don't get paid, if they cannot show you "personalized ads" - which are, of course, based on all those trackers, cookies and fingerprints in the back of our Browsers and Apps. When people say that, they just show the level of their own ignorance about the intrusion of their privacy, that takes place with the accumulated information from little "drops" of data (click by click). But each little "drop" of information adds to a more complete (psycholical, social, political, etc.) profile of us - even here on KZfaq (Google as its owner is no exception). So, the only free stuff is OpenSource Software, but it wouldn't generate money on its own. So, personal information of our surfing behavior is part of the income of most "big players" out there these days. Yet, I'm not sure, that is all "harmless ad-targeting", since it could be used for a lot more than this, too. - And in more autocratic Political Systems and Societies, it actually is these days (see China's Social Scoring System, for example). P.S./Edit: That's why the Chaos Computer Club also recommends to create at least one "Online Persona" for all non-governmental Online-Interactions, so we don't use our *actual* Personal Data and preferences online. - It's a pretty practical Life-Hack and relatively easy. Just don't get mixed-up with yourselves, if you're having more than one ^_^.

I woke up in the morning about a year ago, sat bolt upright and said 'wierdo dreams'. As I turned to step off of my side of the bed my dog was lying right alongside of the bed, and I noticed he was sound asleep. I step over him without waking him, then I go into the living room and open my phone. There was immediately an advertisement for something which I did not catch. In the still photo was a sleeping dog with a thought bubble above his head that said 'wierdo'. As I have been well aware of this phenomenon for some time I went to take a screenshot - and the ad disappeared from the screen that fast, never to be seen again. I have watched for it, as I wanted to screenshoot it. I wondered if it even is a real ad, or was it a combined construct of my still dreaming mind and the phone (which was next to the bed that night). I believe they are monitoring and manipulating dreams also. A microwave oven blocks all signals coming in and going out. Use an unplugged microwave oven to avoid accidental catastrophic failures 😲. I carry an old microwave in my vehicle and you can use one to store your cell phones and other electronics at home or anywhere. A bit bulky perhaps but 100% effective. Works like a Faraday cage. I had an older model android phone that was going goofy after spending a couple of days in the microwave. I saw that it kept trying to connect to something over and over again after i had removed it. That incident was several years ago, and I am getting on in years now. Good luck kiddies... you will need the power of God to stop this.

That’s harder to prove. Much easier to lightly “suggest” certain things to make you believe it was your idea. I mean…. I want to say you’re right, but think about it. That sentence you’re talking about is on my page too and i see it just about everyday. Did you want to see a movie and then went to KZfaq? Or did you see the sentence on KZfaq enough times until you “spontaneously” wanted to watch a movie and KZfaq had that saaaame old sentence there but at the right time? Keep track of things like this. They’re definitely listening but your thoughts should still be relatively safe. However, keep in mind that “suggestability” is a powerful and subtle tool that advertising specializes in.

It's not just a theory -- it's a fact *and* it's a conspiracy. (A conspiracy is a real thing. Sometimes people theorize that there's a conspiracy -- and even the theory often turns out to be correct..) Just because there's a conspiracy theory, that doesn't mean there's no conspiracy or that the theory is baseless. Sometimes there really is nothing to a theory, but people often apply "conspiracy theory" to things they'd like other people no to think or talk about.

Recently I was having a problem with my eyeglasses they were sliding down my nose constantly and needed to be replaced. I was on the internet looking at Instagram KZfaq Google, I was alone so I was not speaking but I was constantly pushing my glasses up because they were sliding down. I started receiving advertisements for those things that you wear around your neck and connect to your glasses so that you don't lose them. I have never in my life searched for them purchased them wanted them or considered wearing them, I never spoke about them. I probably needed them, and I was so shocked to see multiple ads about them that I contacted my son to ask if it's possible that somehow I could be seen readjusting my glasses. Makes one wonder...

I'm sure my words were faint when I pronounced any words - on my mother tongue - about pain, if I even pronounced them clearly in that state of mine. And voice-based searching is disabled on my phone. Regardless, the first ad I got in the morning was a product for cramps.

Now tell us about all the conversations you've had with your son that did _not_ result in an ad showing up on your phone. I'll bet there have been thousands. But you only remember the one time it happened, not the thousands of times it didn't. There is a reason we have the word "coincidence" in the English language. It's because coincidences _do_ happen.

Exactly. 1. You cannot actually turn off your phone. It's only a software-generated "off button". How can a device (like your phone) be off and then indicate you that it has been turned off? 2. Your phone is a device for automatic internet connection. Even if you turn off your modem, it will pick other signals without you knowing you're actually connected. You phone, ipad, car computer are PERMANENT CONNECTION-SPYING DEVICES.

Shuffle being random didn’t feel random, create’s code that’s no longer random and users found it to be less predictable than actual random code. The shuffle application is a great example. Because they made it random people thought it was calculated and predictable, in order to solve the problem instead of installing a random code generator they implemented a standard predictable code and user found it to be more random than the previous version.

I’m sure they’re correct that it’s really good at “reading your mind” with the algorithm. But they are totally listening as well. There are some things I never look up and rarely talk about that I end up getting ads for. One time I was telling my mom that the brakes on my car weren’t so good and I might need to get them worked on. I was new to driving and didn’t have really any car maintenance related search history and still got targeted ads for brakes and brake services. This is just one example of many. But it all is confirmed by the fact that Siri knows when you say her name. That implies that the phone is always listening
