And yet thousands of security researchers can't find a shed of evidence. This shit is tiresome and counter productive. The general public is weary of hearing this made up bullshit.
The technical practice isn't hard. That's the claim. The reality is nobody is buying shit doing this and this is just another repost from the same 404 article months ago.
Bro, I'll literally be having a conversation with someone about a topic, and all of the sudden Google starts recommending me products related to the discussion afterwards. Smart phones and smart speakers without a doubt listen in on our conversations. There's the evidence.
That's not evidence. That's some random anecdote. Back it up or gtfo.
Find a literal shred of evidence. You have no clue how ads work bruh.
Eh, surprised that's happening to someone in this community. Strip Google off your phone and throw out any hardware with a microphone that doesn't run open source software and this will stop happening.
