Ever notice you can be talking about buying something then boom an advertisement shows up on the phone for what you mentioned?

[@SUGAR_XYLER]

☠ That's what happened to my boyfriend and then someone actually called him. *There is no privacy anymore*

[@justjess-zl3pm]

Ummmm Diane just said that. Lol it's what this is about.

[@chilledmonkeybrains9674]

What's worse
Thinking you're paranoid or knowing you should be?

[@4runna-4X]

What's worse is not knowing how smart phone tech works, and best believe someone listens.

[@BinaryTechnique]

Absolutely 100% they are listening. She's lying, the phone calls/face time go through their servers. You must be a fool to think they are not exploiting that large data dump 😂

[@Impetuss]

Duh of course. Theyre talking about background surveillance when apps arent open, not when your facetiming

If you didn't know that your phone is watching and listening to you at all times with the inclusion of your television and you are Siri or Alexa then you must have bumped your head! I've been trying to warn people about that for years and everybody looked at me like I was crazy and now it's coming to light and it's the truth

Remember when "screen time" used to mean "the time someone is shown on a television/movie screen" rather than "the time someone spends in front of a screen"??

[@angelamartin1717]

The phones are listening...I have toooooo many incidents to call it coincides...the most unnerving incident was when my husband and I was talking about our children’s handwriting... I be damn, the next day I went on RUclips and on my recommendations (news feed) was a video/link about cursive handwriting...amongst crime, funny, and documentary videos I normally watch...👀🙅🏽‍♀️🤦🏽‍♀️

[@Dstergurl09]

Yeah except I got new phone.. Not under my name and before using it (downloading apps, adding contacts) I decided to speak in Spanish for most of the day...
Guess who was getting ads in Spanish immediately???

[@SUGAR_XYLER]

😁 Sometimes I sing and yell into my phone to see if anything will happen

[@shanedawnson7197]

Everytime i talk about anything, an ad pops up about it! Just the other day i was talking about buying a paddle for my boat, then i go on instagram, and BAM an ad about the paddle i wanted

[@kingcrimson1916]

Short answer: YES.

[@wolfblitzer1981]

Big brother is always listing your fucking mental if you think there not

[@anthonyolvera5916]

The listening device would be the phone that's why there free if you can't afford one it's just like 1984 thought police

[@marz2262]

Your outro sometimes longer than content )

[@patricialong262]

Shane tried to tell us...

[@c0cochan3l29]

It is listening

[@keribarley]

Yes

[@rondon7804]

It was going to talk about it, talk about it and give facts. Nothing about this episode was enlightening or inspiring.

[@mylifeisamememylifeispathe3140]
