To test if your phone is listening to your conversations, start by openly discussing a unique topic that you’ve never searched for or discussed previously
… then see if it appears in your ads. Saved you a click.
This might sound naive, but what ads? I don’t get ads on my phone, I have functioning adblockers on my browsers, and I use alternate front ends for the occasions I have to access normie social media.
I don’t watch TV or listen tp the radio, I read books and research papers primarily, and my actual social media use is on the federated options using apps that don’t have ads. I have my phone pretty tightly locked down, so even the apps I use don’t have ads.
Aside from the occasional product placements in something, I don’t get much exposure to advertising. And before anyone goes there, I work from home and don’t even see billboards. I don’t even get flyers.
Would I have to change a lot of that to run these tests?
