Message Subject Audio Spying on Your Computers - Does Facebook LISTEN to us? Be Aware.

OP, do you have an Android phone? Google listens through your Android phone then serves ads to your computer based on what it hears. Wouldn't be suprised if they listen through the mic on your computer too though.

I do, but it wasn't me that this happened to. I don't use Facebook so....I guess I'm a lost cause for ads. This was told to me by someone specifically about Facebook ads, but I wouldn't be at all surprised if they were listening on the cell phones too. Anything with a mic. And we can't forget the cameras either.

Thanks for bringing that up, excellent point. Actually I don't think my source has a Google phone, just some kind of really basic cell phone. These seem to be conversations that took place in the house though, among family members.

I heard somewhere that they can even record while the phoneis off.

I have heard this too, and it might be true for all I know. I wonder if taking the battery out helps. But I wanted people to focus specifically on their computers and Facebook because the ads apparrently have been pretty....specific. I mean about products and services that are not commonly used or mentioned.

Creepy!!!
