Wife has a cell phone from Straight Talk she has had 100s of junk calls since she went with them it's a never ending issue a few every day. They must sell the heck out of their user list.

The disturbing part is when you talk about something and then start seeing ads for it 😳 dude.. Yes! That is the creepiest stuff. It's even creepier when I'm only thinking about it...

It’s not just the electronic devices that are tracking you. Every time you use your store discount card(MVP or VIC card) the store is tracking your purchases. Case in point; before we had a child(10 years ago) my wife was on birth control and had a 28 day cycle like clockwork. Eagerly month the week before her cycle was due I would get a coupon for tampons. Every time. It never failed. In fact that’s what made me think something wasn’t t right when that coupon came out and I did not have to buy tampons that month. That’s how I knew we were due for a family expansion.

Another thing. Those of you with Apple devices you can turn off the auto listening setting but a lot of time whe. Your device updates it will turn it back on. You have to go back into settings and manually turn it off each time you update. At least I have to.

Every time you swipe your card for a purchase, any time you walk into a store or public location, if you have a vehicle built in the last 10 years, XM Radio and or OnStar installed in a car, cell phones, home devices, anything built by Nest, Amazon, Google, if you have internet to your home. You can not move in an urban environment under normal social conditions in this day and age, and not be located with in minutes. Facial recognition software use is on the rise. Every time you pass a toll booth, and other random check points on highways, your plate numbers are taken in. Very few people in this country today are NOT tracked or can not be located in under 24 hours.

there was a story about Target , they have a targeted marketing algorythm , when you start buying related products it guesses your next product and sends you advertisements for it.
this story is probably 5 years old , 16 year old lives with her dad , she shops at target , starts getting adds for baby stuff , her dad gets mad at target for sending her maternity adds , she is only 16!
a few weeks later she has missed to many periods to not get concerned and sees the doctor , yup she was pregnant no more than 2-3 weeks when Target stated sending her baby adds.
unscented lotion and a few other personal car products generally unscented are part of the tip off in the algorithm. as the hormones start to wind up into overdrive of first pregnacy , smells become too much for many women.
Hey WIre Tap! , do you have a recipe for pancakes ?

But im sure there is a server room somewhere in this country that is recording and storing everything you say, or at least anything of importance. There's more than one. They're spread out in a lot of places all across the country. The ridiculous part is the SOB's make you sign an NDA to protect THEIR privacy. How's that for irony? Mike

the wife was listening to an interviewer with Edward Snowden , the wiki leaks guy , he has a cell phone but the very first thing he does is open it up , remove the microphone and disable the cameras. when he wants to talk on the phone he plugs in a set of ear buds with a mic.
are you paranoid enough?
