Hey, you're not the first one to suspect it. Do you mind if I forward it to a privacy and security discussion group?

Yes, please. Usually I label it as conspiracy theory. But it has been happening too often recently to be simply a coincidence

palone: It's the bader-meinhoff Effect in practice Using voice to target ads would be a collosal waste of resources and a PR disaster if people find our Analyzing your browsing and searching is waaaaay more effective and waaaay cheaper than eavesdropping. Speech recognition is still relatively bad, especially when not directly speaking into the mic, accents, mutliple people, accents etc Uploading hours of voice generates also way more data Jaap / Nox 🇳🇱: This + having conversation/item A on their mind might have influenced their online actions over the past period which caused that item to be relevant to show for advertisers, without having to specifically search for that item. There are documented examples of someone receiving ads related to pregnancy (child care products, etc) before they knew they were pregnant or told anyone. palone: Eavesdropping can be used for training speech recognition models tho, but that doesn't happen at scale because you need humans to verify what was said Target or walmart did write a piece about this Jaap / Nox 🇳🇱: Target all the way back in 2012 already I think yea xD palone: https://www.forbes.com/sites/kashmirhill/2012/02/16/how-target-figured-out-a-teen-girl-was-pregnant-before-her-father-did/

I can't forward from other groups because it's against the rules here. But, this is the end of the thread. That's it. You're phones are not eavesdropping.
