Fuark, Instagram Must Be Listening to Real Life Conversations for Ads

Guy at work was just telling me some gay story about installing a heater core in his Volvo and how he had to go to IPD to get the part.

Never once would I ever search for anything related to Volvos and there's no wifi here or anything we'd be sharing connection-wise

An IPD ad shows up on my phone a few seconds after the conversation when I look at IG

That chit is crazy

Snowden was right about the feds, major companies do the same

Joe Rogan talked about this. Your phone is listening all the time when it is on. Basically audio-cookies nowadays instead of just web-based.

Also, this happened to me once and I was confused about it until I heard it on Rogan.

The next Snowden type leak will probably tell us the mics are always on and can hear everything perfectly clear. Remember when they had the phone improvement of filtering out background noise during calls so its more clear? Basically them improving your phones spying ability.

Had a similar event OP, was talking to a neighbor and he mentioned he needs to repair his garage door. I am a 30 year old who never googled it or mentioned garages in my life and the next day I got adds for new garage kits. Phone was deep in my pocket. Their spying abilities are STRONG. With coincidences like this you would have to be schizo to believe that they aren't spying and it's just an algorythm.

Happens to me too. Snowden said even if your phone is in sleep mode, it is still actually on and can listen. When he was in the CIA he said they used the old school flp phones aka burner phones.

You only realize that now? This has been happening for at least 6 or 7 years
