Yes, this is true, Google has been spying on us for a long time, but few people know that. Some people think that spying is through writing or browsing websites only, but the fact is that spying is done through the microphone and through the camera as well. There are also applications to spy on someone By recording all phone calls, as well as recording all surrounding sounds remotely, as well as the possibility of operating the camera remotely, monitoring the call log, Facebook conversations, Telegram, WhatsApp, locating and all these things that may not occur to many.
The only difference is that the spy apps need to be implanted on the victim's device and give it the required permissions there, but Google has all the powers that you gave it to it when agreeing to the terms of use.

They are smarter today that even when you just think about something, you can instantly see an ad on your phone about what you just thought. Without mentioning anything but only thinking about something like "cooking pancakes" you might just see an advert about it on your phone.

Try that. These bots are already going into our minds. Whats funny is that they are checking us whether we are bots thru the captcha.  Grin

LOL - i dont think these bots are that advanced that they will be able to read the minds of the people.
However - your searches on the IP address can bring in the same kind of ads on all the devices at the same IP address.

heheh, I wouldn't go that far either, but probably close.
Once I heard about this technology Facebook was using that allowed them to collect data from pixels in your phone screen, reconstruct an image and target ads according to that reconstructed image or something similar to this.

It's ridiculous what technology allow people to do. When we think about this, AI, robots, Alexas and Co, I really think we are kinda doomed! That's why we need to give more importance to our sovereignty, privacy, intellectual and private property!

I think it's not just the IP address that we are talking about here since the pattern that I noticed was like when you see a certain words it automatically registered or shown up in your search bar. They can read what we are reading and at the same time they know what was your ideal type to search hence your caches/history in internet browser is affected which then they will show you what are your type of reference you wanted.

I think we are almost all aware that state-sponsored survaillance is ongoing for ages. I watched a small clip (not sure it was only click bait or true) where Edward Snowden says that he removes the microphones of his phones (and probably cameras too) so that his conversations cannot be recorded/spied on. While searching for this clip I also found this interesting documentary: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kaUemcqIQ-k.

There are alliances world wide taking care of all the survaillance our states need, like PRISM, 5 EYES and others.
Check this for example:

https://nordvpn.com/blog/five-eyes-alliance/

and this one too

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Five_Eyes

One other on PRISM
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PRISM

And finally this one should give us a general overview about the stage we are at on Global Survaillance.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Global_surveillance

Damn scary, to be honest!
The last link you have mentioned talks about Snowden. If you happen to watch Snowden than surly you will be able to realize how much we are exposed to the agencies and surveillance authorities. That is how the spy work - they are smarter than we even think. But of course there is no stopping to it. We have exposed ourselves to them by bringing in smart these devices.

May be may not be well i have very fixed Openion on it as i don't know how people think that Anything is Private in the Digital World, if you consider my Openion Privacy is a Myth in the current era,

Spiesare in our pocket as Smartphone,
No malwar required, Watsapp, Games,Facebook, Insta YouTube is the enemy to your privacy and it is obvious as well as you better know that DATA is everything in digital world so they eat your data and let you ise the internet.
Once you do make yourself connected to internet then dont consider yourself to be in private 100% on just by using your device alone and surfing website then you are already giving that bridge and considering

about those ads which it does really shows up which would really be correlated on what you are recently or actively searching on which there would really be some crawling happening
towards your surfing history which it is really into their algo that it would be providing related stuffs and be thrown out into you through ads
which isnt something new.

First time? Then you should really get used to it because thats how it works or business do.

Realistically there's no point changing now, they've already got all the data they needed Wink.



Most of these systems work of recommender algorithms. It's like how you can have the same thought of other people at the same time and how the likelihood of your thoughts being the same for a specific point in time is proportional to how well you know that person.

Recommender algorithms essentially come up with an angle based on a lot of data about you and then try to work out who else has a similar angle and pushes content they like towards you (it's a lot more accurate and picks up data from more people when there's millions or billions of users).
the use of the word angle is because a sizable amount of trigonometry goes into producing these algorithms.
I have disabled recommendation systems wherever possible. The good news is that this is possible everywhere, although recommendation systems are usually enabled by default. The bad news is that your news feed will become less interesting after this, and the ads will become less attractive. The good news is you'll waste less time and buy less junk you don't need. You have no chance of defeating self-learning artificial intelligence while sitting at home in a comfortable chair in a bathrobe and house slippers. But you can prevent it from learning from your behavior on the network, and this is not even too difficult.

It’s strange for me to talk about this on the Bitcointalk forum, but it seems that a new generation of cryptocurrency users has grown up who don’t know about cypherpunks.
That is a good approach - i will do also look for the options to disable the recommendation.
Also you have mentioned the very valid point that as the internet has brought us many comforts it has stolen from us the privacy and our identity. I miss those time when social media was not that common.

I think google is spying on us ,when our phones are in the room

I was talking about something a few minutes ago , and when i opened youtube , i got an ad on the video ,about the same thing i was talking about ...how do they know ? if not spying ...
Same weird ads i got this month a lot ...

To be honest this sounds funny abit but why i may not have a doubt about it is because google itself is a centralized network and in the world of a centralized system i don't think there's anything called privacy even though they may claim it that you have it, but believe me its all lies, but as regards the aspect of spying your talks or conversations Is another thing entirely of which i believe google has the power to do such but wouldn't, and no recent devices made from them that opens up users to their access other than the normal tracking which is more likely not to function well if the location is off, but listening to your conversation has something to do maybe with your device, or you been hacked, your experience might just be a coincidence.

Do you guys noticed same precise ads on your devices also ? Like they know what you want,need etc ....do you get that feeling "how did they know ?"

I have the same thing happen and it is probably widespread behavior, definitely something suspicious taking place there. That being said, their advertising or analytics javascript is found on so many pages it's quite possible that they might be able to connect the dots via other methods. They are turning out to be a really scummy company these days, far from their original motto of do no evil. They are much more benign, but possibly more dangerous than a company like Amazon because of the information they have access to - especially when it comes to manipulating news or even individual politicians who might want to take restraining actions against them.

Not only google but every app that contains ads that we just hit the agree button without reading it.

They're like that and I don't know how do they call that but it's like an algorithm and everything that our phone hears from us, it's quick to register for those ads and they'll show to our feed.

The same goes for search for our PCs, whatever we search, there's the algo for the ads that will eventually come out later on.

they spy us via the phone microphones < -- it's illegal guys ,FBI needs warrant to tap phones , and Google does it without asking permission etc...
The same for Facebook too. But I'm sure they all know that but they did nothing or did they already?

And not only with the microphones but also with the cameras. So be careful with what you agree in permissions because it's important to have at least knowledge on what you allow and what you not.

Even if FBI sues google, they'll just pay them the fine.

Dear op, that's how targeted marketing works! Android operating system is a part of the ecosystem they have created so that they can maintain and increase their dominance.

Let's assume you sell mobile covers of Samsung Galaxy Note phones. You can precisely target all Galaxy note phone owners within a specific geographic range. You can refine the ad serving towards a certain age group and you can precisely target those people who likes to do online shopping. Privacy is a myth in today's world. It exists only on papers.

Similar thing happens in real world but people are more asleep to notice... If you are interested in something you gradually start seeing it. If you want to attract good things, be interested in good things. The creators of the internet probably copy this from nature but you can't trust them not to abuse it.
Whatever you search for a certain IP - everyone using the same IP will get the same kinds of ad. The internet world is very intense - have you notice there were so many games on fb where they use to ask to access your personal info and you willingly give access. Why do they do that. That is because they have now legal right to get your personal access..

Do you think that Apple won't spy on it's customers? Privacy is something utopian in the current digital world.
 
Yes, I had the same case last year. I am using an old iphone and use facebook to keep in touch with some friends. Once my friend and I were talking and accidentally mentioned the toy bear, because it is very beautiful and I think my son will like it. I asked my friend: do you know where it sells?. When I got home, I turned on my phone and played on Facebook and was quite surprised to see so many ads about the toy bear I talked to my friend about. Actually, I was quite surprised but also did not pay much attention to why this happened. It's only when it happens a few times that I start to think that the devices we're using are spying on us.

If you watch Snowden. Than you will get an idea how our privacy is been exposed on the computers and internet. In this world of internet and 3G and 4G.
Nothing is personal. This getting the same ads is also coming from your internet fiber cable - whatever you see and search you get ads of it. It's very common.
If you are worried - then keep phone away from your bedroom.

You guys don't realize how serious it is if they spy us via the phone microphones ...it's not like spying chat msgs ... govs , secret services need a warrant to do that and Google does it without asking anyone permission or notifying the users. What the f...ck is going on ,we are living in a corporate police state world ...
