If it's metadata plus content of your contacts' web searches, etc., then the distinction becomes meaningless.
If you have a phone call with a friend about widgets and then they google for it just after the call, a wise marketer might think they should show you some ads for the same thing just in case.
Just pray your friend doesn't google something illegal or distasteful just after they get off the phone with you.
- whimsicalism 6y ago"Meaningless" seems to overstate your case.
- ballenf 6y agoYes, it was hyperbole. My point was that metadata combined with other data becomes a super powerful tool. You might guard your own privacy 100% but have a conversation with someone who doesn't. If you share interests, then your privacy op sec is now compromised in a way completely out of your hands.
