is big brother watching you?

Quite a bit of anecdotal allegation of the same thing with Amazon Alexa!!!

I'm convinced Facebook listens to my conversations. Last few weeks there's been 4 separate occasions where I've spoken about something and only spoken (i.e. no web searching, not on my amazon wishlist, no ebay, no online interaction whatsoever to create any cookies etc) and then shortly afterwards a targeted advert for that exact product has appeared on my FB timeline. It's possible it's all a coincidence but it's very very spooky.

My friends thought I was nuts but they're starting to believe me now it's happened to them.

Yes, but at least he's doing it in the right thread.
