I was thinking the other day about how the big companies are tracking you all the time. Now I look at DCUM and there is a post about this exact thing!

Is DCUM reading my mind? Are these posts for real? Freaking out a little.

if you browse amazon , google will know you searched and put targeted ads.

I think your phone is definitely listening !!

Large stores have gizmos that track which aisles you visit and how long you linger in different areas. They use your wifi and/or Bluetooth signal identifiers and relate try to relate them to you. Then you get targeted ads. If you turn wifi and Bluetooth off it will help, and don’t forget your smart watch.

These seniors can communicate directly with you mobile phone and send data back. For example, if you stood and looked at the display for a while the RFID is pinging that connection to the your phone and timing you. The data is sent to the manufacturer and then they use Google AdSense to push ads to you.

I’ve always thought it was RFID chip too.

Same

This is not just for products. While falling asleep last year, I decided that I wanted to take a rockhound trip; go to old mines and dig for crystals. I fell asleep and actually completely forgot about it till I got on FB and saw a bunch of ads for mines,

In my opinion FB is a mutual assistance relationship with the US Intelligence community.

Their Target: your children, their futures and their lives:

Mentioned feeling like a Guinea pig about some medical issue, later that day an ad for Guinea pig food. It’s really out of control.

In addition to pp’s thoughts another thing that happens is once you’ve got something on your mind, you are more likely to notice if it comes up in another context, whereas before you might have tuned it out as irrelevant.

1) turn off sirie and the microphone on your phone to stop your private conversations being recorded

2) turn off location services and re-develop the part of your brain that is developed when you explore and retain the route to a new location- this will also stop the tracking of where you go

3) turn of Ads and block cookies and routinely use incognito


Actually, everyone should just do this now for the future of the human race as we know it
