You are not paranoid

[TomCat]

I knew it.

You’re not paranoid: Your phone really is listening in

I said “ok google” to my phone which should activate the voice thing. But nothing happened. So my phone’s not listening in I guess.

If I say “hey Siri” she starts listening. So I assume it’s always listening.

Things I search to buy on google always later show up on my Facebook newsfeed for sale. The social media is browsing your web searches too. This happens all the time to me.

I just turned off voice assist on my phone,

Maybe they’re not listening to me now.

Probs still are.

Sometimes our alexa just turns on like its listening when we didnt say its name or anything its creepy I hate that thing but everyone else loves it

My mom says she doesnt care if the government is listening in on us bc they aren’t gonna hear anything interesting

If it’s listening for its name it’s always listening. Just like my iPhone.

We have an Alexa. My son gave it to us a few years ago. We have never taken it out the box.
