From the Tinfoil Hat Department - FaceBook Listening?
Stoic Joker:
Hay, I'm not saying I believe it's happening. I'm just saying it's difficult to confidently discount with some of the current goings on.
FaceBook has been caught scraping information out of Emails and text messages on Android phones.
Voice activated TV's and "electronic assistants" (like Alexa etc.) have been caught recording everything and uploading "telemetry".
So the technology is there, and the necessary contemptuous attitude toward personal privacy by corporations is also available on spades.
And if the most common kneejerk reaction is like Stephen's above … Well... It wouldn't really be that hard to get away with.

Wait.. Stephen is making sense? When did that start?

This. As I said, I dismissed it as I must have shared it before. But some of it is inexplainable, like pinterest knowing (without me linking it to other platforms) that it was my anniversary month, and showing me gifts. And I don't even talk about any family on any platform. That was creepy.
Deozaan:
This is how I interpreted it:
Or...perhaps I'm wrong and the whole world is bugged and listening/recording/serving based on voice-prints :P
