Huh oh. As a committed anti-conspiracy-theorist for the "phones listen to your microphone and targeted ads based on what you say" thing I can tell this is going to be exhausting

I think probably 95% of speculation that your phone is secretly listening to you is overblown, but man the tech industry really does not do itself any favors with that 5% arstechnica.com/tech-policy/...

I was in the "this isn't happening" camp for a long time. A few nights ago, I mentioned custom home builders. I did not look them up, neither did my wife. I haven't looked into it for months, maybe years. Next morning, I'm playing a game, up pops an ad for a custom home builder.

I agree with Simon here, but my "a little too creepy" incident was getting lots of Pepcid ads immediately after discussing heartburn with my doctor.
