Wife and I were discussing a vacation destination. It has been 4 weeks since I looked up information about the destination on my laptop.

Hop on laptop, open facebook and first advertisement is for the destination we just talked about.



TH03 will be here soon with something negative and I know Dear Facebook

I used a family member's new chainsaw last weekend.

It was awesome.

However, I never did any Internet searches at all for chainsaws. I never texted anybody or talked to anybody on the phone about that chainsaw.

When I open my tablet that night, the first ad I see is for that specific chainsaw.

Of all the "FB is listening" stories, this one is the worst example.

They can't track me because I disabled my account a long time ago.

No we can. Facebook, google, twitter, etc. tracks the frick out of everyone.

The only way now to stay hidden -
1. pay cash
2. no phone - yes not even a dumb flip phone
3. no smart watch/wearable tracker - no bluetooth period
4. VPN/Tor/disposable computer

Facial recog is still there, but not ready for mass data consumption.

It sucks our privacy is gone.

Your points are all correct. People are extremely short-sighted. It's amazing what people are willing to sacrifice to gain a slight bit of "convenience." We've pimped out our lives via the Trojan horse method.

They aren't listening to you if you looked up information on the vacation as you said.
