Ok but honestly one time I was in a discord call and my friend said something about nutter butters as a joke and I got a nutter butters ad on twitter 10 seconds later
according to the google terms of service they have permission to record the 60 seconds before you use their vouce search thingy. of course, they would have to permanently record so they can get the footage...
the best way to avoid having your data stolen is to simply get rid of all the stuff that harvests data. delete social media, disable anything voice related, use incognito mode whenever possible, etc etc.
go on then, stop using discord
it would be weird for advertisers to instantly advertise something as soon as they catch wind of you thinking about it cause it probably would creep people out and make them suspect the advertisers of spying on them, if done too frequentlybut maybe thats what they want me to think
is there much we as individuals can do about it tho
forums count as social media btw
goes as brown townog as possible too, forget alexa, forget siri, forget social media, etc etcif it has a tos longer than a phone book, it's probably chinese spyware
i basically don't use it already, i probably have less than 5 minutes in it per day
