Big data
I know they've been watching us, but I always find it hard to accept that they just might be doing it literally. I know they are listening to us. Several companies with apps on our smartphones have all but admitted they're doing it. Google has kind of said it point blank, that, but are "anonymising" the data. Sure.
The other day, I was wearing my Avengers lounge wear, and looking through Instagram. From that point of view, the camera would be pointed at my legs. As if by magic, I saw an Avengers ad come up in my feed, out of the blue.
"It's a coincidence", I thought. Avengers are popular, and I'd probably liked Avenger related stuff in the past. Easy coincidence.
But then this. I'm wearing a pair of tartan patterned loungewear, looking through Instagram in the usual manner and see what came up. Another coincidence? I'm starting to doubt it.
What do you think? Coincidence or Instagram (FaceBook) is looking through my camera to gather signals for advertising?
Peace & Love,

I wouldn't put that past them. I never installed Facebook on my new phone. Instagram I have and I should actually remove it.
I've been running from FaceBook for 8 years. When I left, they went ahead and acquired other apps I use like Instagram and WhatsApp. It's frustrating.
You can run but you can't hide from FaceBukkake.
LOL.
Always data coming to phone.
You are under study for their profit
LOL. very likley.
