They want to sell you stuff and want you to buy it. That's the name of the game.

Targeted ads aren't exactly new, they're just more in your face since Big Tech. Google believes I'm way older than I am. Why? Well, Facebook would not let me use 01/01/1901 as my birthdate, so I simply used 02/02/1902 instead.
 Or maybe it February 29th? It's kinda hard to keep track.

So, this was suposed to be the wave of the future, if you remember when we were kids. Automation, autonomous service and servants. Machines that anticipate your needs and fulfill them. That was the utopian and altruistic ideal of a passive and servile system. It seemed great when it was in the future.

They can also control your Smart TV. I don't have cable/satellite on my TV, just free antenna channels.
Had the experience where a Claude Van Damme movie on the "black" network station "Bounce" channel was at a point where the police department was being picketed by cops and civilians. TV shut off. I thought it odd, and fired it up. As soon as the picture went on screen, TV shut off. Thought maybe my TV was going out. Repeated, same thing. On next try, I changed channels before the movie pulled up on the screen. No problems now. So went back a channel to the "movie," TV shut off. Interesting. Fired TV back on, changed channels again, TV screen stayed on. Went through all my channels, no problem until I came around to the "movie." Once again the TV shut off. I could not watch that "movie" which was obviously being purposely shut down due to its content beig broadcast on a "black" TV network, and the state of BLM and the anger against police officers. I knew right then that "Big Brother" has control of the transmission of wireless signals, as well as any cable/internet signals. |

Every time you agree to the terms of service for an app upgrade you basically grant them permission to access any and everything on your phone (camera, mic, gps, files, contacts, text messages, ...). You can go through and restrict permissions but I'm sure they have work arounds to get what they want. You may restrict app X from accessing your photo album but app K which has access also shares info with app X.

My son warned me of this years ago. Leave your phone off and in the car or at home if you don't want Apple or Google to know your habits. Of course your iphone can be turned on by the right people anytime along with your camera. Android used to be that way but not anymore.

Turn off Siri and Alexa. It is easy to do in your phone settings.
No way there will be any smart speakers in my house. Don |

The PY Online Forums is the largest online gathering of Pontiac enthusiasts anywhere in the world. Founded in 1991, it was also the first online forum for people to gather and talk about their Pontiacs. Since then, it has become the mecca of Pontiac technical data and knowledge that no other place can surpass.
