Pretty deep stuff for this time of day!

Some pretty scary stuff out there, as I recently heard about a couple who had no pets, but for 3 days, with their phones OFF, talked about getting a cat, we need cat food, blah blah blah, as some type of test.
The phones were within earshot.
In 3 days, they received Facebook ads for.....wait for it........cat food.
Now, I don't know if this is true or not, but if it COULD be done, then what would stop those who would?
What amazes me is that people are willing to give up privacy just so they don't have to type a few words.
It would be great if the technology was used to catch real criminals instead of selling cat food. Than again, not much profit in actually stopping crime.
Let your phone listen to random weirdness via YouTube. Fight the system by filling it with garbage.
Having read this thread, I just went to my Amazon echo 'History' page and sure enough, right there on the Amazon servers is a long list dating back to when we first bought our first Echo with recordings of everything that has been captured. You can listen to the recordings online. I must say it is kind of creepy hearing myself, my wife, my kids recorded online like that. The creepiest ones are the ones that say "Text not available. Click to play recording".
Has me seriously thinking about unhooking these things.
It was almost as though they had a crystal ball to see into the future. Scary times indeed.I never would have guessed George Orwell and Aldous Huxley would have been so accurate in their respective works.
