I've had ads for sketchy shit I googled at home on my personal computer show up on my work computer at the office.
- adossi 7y agoI've had ads for things that I only just spoke about, out loud, to someone near me like a friend or family member, show up on a computer in a different country.
- ahallock 7y agoI've had ads for things spoken about show up in FB. I have more of a libertarian mindset, but that really creeps me out and I think speech-based ads be outright banned due to privacy concerns. It's not so much the ads; it's being recorded and potentially having those recordings leak in a data breach.
- mavhc 7y agoOr it's just one of 100 coincidences that happen to you every day. Easy to prove, store a log of all your network traffic, and record all the audio you speak, then when you see a match, go back, find the proof, become world famous
- ahallock 7y agoI stand corrected. I thought I had read this was actually happening, but it appears to only be speculation.
- adossi 7y agoIt was widely believed for literally years until the Senate Judiciary and Commerce committee hearing in 2018 where Zuck called it a 'conspiracy theory'. Since then it has been dismissed as such. My question is - if I personally observed it before I even heard about this 'theory', and thousands of others around the world also observed the same thing, why are we dismissing it as a 'conspiracy theory'? Just because Zuck labelled it as such? Why are we trusting him to tell us the truth again?
