Ever get the feeling you are being watched?

Actually, Llamedos13 Facebook has had lots of ads for gardening and outdoor stuff recently. It is summer, after all.

On iPad , if you go into settings , look up Safari , click on the link , scroll down then you will see option for Clear History and Website Data , by clicking on that it clears all the cookies ect you’ve built up , but the only thing to remember is that it will also clear your ‘ member ‘ from here , but as long as you know your password you’ll be ok no, but at least it wipes the slate clean , until you build up some more cookies .....

Also means if we are talking on another phone , maybe giving out personal information, passwords, Doctors, banks etc then some other could possibly be listening in.

H1954... That would freak me out. I hate people staring at me.

I watched this documentary on Netflix a few months back and, as a not-very-techy-person, I found the personification of algorithms very useful. It helped explain why I was getting so many "suggested for you" ads for vintage motorbikes! www.netflix.com/watch/81254224?trackId=13752289&tctx=0%2C0%2Cec0e3d7e985c58b4159c69406f9a6377632e1ffb%3Aeb74b1540282a312d2d1571c9e741f96527f481c%2Cec0e3d7e985c58b4159c69406f9a6377632e1ffb%3Aeb74b1540282a312d2d1571c9e741f96527f481c%2Cunknown%2C

My friend and l were discussing not googling about moving to a remote island to get away from the covid insanity.When later on in the day we both got adverts about a remote scottish island for sale.l am convinced we are clocked and listened to every day of our lives!

Think 1984..... I believe with all the street cctv, along with Internet and Alexa monitoring. We are heading that way...

Elvis58 If you have Alexa you ^are listened to every monent of your lives. How else would the app hear when someone says "Alexa, play music" ? Any other device with sound recognition is the same. The owner believes that it responds only to their voice giving it a direct order, so they discuss things in front of it as thought it is deaf.

Yes, we're all being watched and listened to. Spooky, isn't it? But then everyone is doing as they are told these days, and without question. I find that even spookier and tragic at the same time.
