Instagram is the only app I've ever had on any of my phones that ever spied on me. It was listening to a conversation I had with a friend. I was at her side while she was in the hospital. It heard our conversation. My phone was powered down (not off but screen off) in my pocketbook. App was off.

I had logged on to Instagram for the first time in over a year. It forced me to update, which I did. A day or 2 after that, I logged in again just to discover AN AD for the thing my friend & I had discussed (obscure). Was very first thing in my feed. Voice permission was set as default on.

... Bluesky and Instagram are NIT RELATED... do you mean Threads? Maybe. Make sure you have voice permissions off. I don't participate in Reels or create any content so it has no reason to listen to my voice. Since I turned it off, it hasn't happened. But I don't use Instagram or threads much.

I'm not entirely anti-AI, but I 𝙖𝙢 against the US (business, medical science, financial srvcs, and humans) being used as involuntary beta testers (not even sure this sh*t's good enough to be betaware) Rampant cybersecurity fails are the best reason for robust data privacy regulation & a moratorium

Are AI executives begging for immunity from damage they created with hallucinations? Is the sudden concern about "humanity" a smokescreen for a technology with a 95% failure rate? Have AI executives been making knowingly false promises for years (i.e. fraud)? www.thedataexperts.us/writing/ente...

thedataexperts.usEnterprise AI Failure Rate: Why 95% Fail, per MIT (2025)MIT's 2025 NANDA study found 95% of GenAI pilots return no measurable value. The root causes, the ROI gap, and what the 5% that succeed do differently.
