Electronic Frontier Foundation"The unsettling feeling that your device is spying on you is real — but the culprit isn't a secret microphone. It's the data broker industry," EFF’s @evacide tells CNET. https://www.cnet.com/tech/services-and-software/features/no-your-iphone-isnt-listening-to-you-heres-whats-really-happening/

hackygolucky@eff @evacide when we were building our bootstrapped startup, a privacy-required, problematic habits tracking app, trying to figure out how to build quickly, without building everything in-house, while preserving privacy...it left us mindboggled at every turn.
Every rug we peeked under(nearly every 3rd party service for every step of our development) led to an inability to keep things private. It crippled development speed.
It felt stupid to call it privacy-first, as if it wasn't was novel.

ondřej smy fav part:
"Money tends to concentrate in hours and places where the model expects better results, so delivery clusters in time. That's why an ad can land the same night you talked about a topic, because the system already had reasons to try you tonight, and you happened to be scrolling when the budget was flowing."

AAA365@eff Tested this years ago knew internet searches were being snooped on. Believe they can listen in on conversations as well, you’d discuss something privately then within days get a letter connected to that matter.
