Your Phone Isn’t Eavesdropping on You to Show You Ads (It’s Worse Than That)

I changed the title from “Spying” to “Eavesdropping” because the article actually directly supports that it is “spying” on you, just not listening.

Especially smart TVs. They’re especially chatty, accounting for something like 85% of network calls (all blocked).
