Your long-held suspicions are confirmed, according to a report: Your phone really is listening to you.

A marketing firm whose clients include Facebook and Google has privately admitted that it listens to users’ smartphone microphones and then places ads based on the information that is picked up, according to 404 Media.

Cox Media Group, the television and radio news conglomerate, admitted in a pitch deck to investors that its “Active Listening” software uses artificial intelligence to “capture real-time intent data by listening to our conversations,” according to the report.

“Advertisers can pair this voice-data with behavioral data to target in-market consumers,” the company wrote in the pitch deck.

I don't care how obscure whatever it is you're talking about, if your phone is on and in range you will receive an ad for it. They're all such liars.

Like I said earlier, give it something to listen to.

Guns Bombs Knives tactical nukes in backpacks in major cities, bioweapons delivered by drones, fentanyl in the water supply.

No wonder why I’m always getting ads asking if my wife complains about my dick being too big.

Yeah it was told me to years ago that if you have the Facebook app on your phone, even if you deleted it, it was over. They recorded what you said. Used it for ads and possibly more nefarious stuff.

So, it's gonna suggest ads for travel agencies that send you to resorts in Ukraine, Mexico, Palestine, London and Colorado?

When you are not using your phone, put it down in front of a talk radio speaker or a TV series, maybe both at the same time.

Wait until people realize that it does it when "powered off" as well.

They claim it’s for ads but what something is doing is storing a digital image of you. Where you go to sleep and wake up, what you eat, do you talk loud. Everything is being stored and used in an algorithm. If it can ever manage to breathe a soul into it you will never die.

There's an apartment complex there but you may need to be fluent in Spanish.
The contract may also be a Blood In, Blood Out kind of contract.

Which I know it sucks that this is even a thing, yet that is where we are in these Leftist controlled states and cities.
