"Do not track" just includes a tag in your web requests asking the server not to track you, which will be completely ignored by any server that actually does any tracking of users.

I used to have an Alexa until one day I lost my wallet. I happen to mention it to a friend in the presence of my Alexa, and the next day I'm seeing ads for wallets on my computer. A week later I threw my Alexa in the trash. I recommend that action for anybody else who owns one, or any of the other clones like it.

Yes!! They listen!! My wife and I were listening to a t.v. show, that mentioned a certain town in western Va. My wife and I were both familiar with it. But while they showed pics of that town, their actual story was about a town in Tenn, w/same name. We started laughing, and my wife asked if I knew where the town was in Tenn. I said yes, about 125 mi SE of Va. town. IMMEDIATELY, GOOGLE Maps automatically came on my phone( phone laying on end table beside me) and gave programmed route from my house to town in Tenn.!! All that BEFORE I even touched my phone!! YES!! THEY LISTEN!!

There is absolutely no way you can be completely private living in a modern electronic world. The phones are tracked, computer usage is monitored and tracked, your financial history is tracked, cars are tracked, cameras are everywhere, shops, buses, highstreets, roads, door bells etc. The only way to be completely private is to buy a small holding somewhere in the middle of nowhere and live off-grid. However, I love hot water and hot showers, flushable toilets, gaming, tv and movies, and having fast food delivered to my door, so I guess I'll never be free. I bet even when I'm gone a camera will be watching my grave to make certain I'm not gonna make a bunk for freedom 😆

That evening youtube recommended music to play at a wedding and guess what artist it was. Also, no, KZbin doesn't have access to my microphone on my device. But it did on his.

Quite a few years ago I noticed something with Facebook. I was at a convention and just happened to be talking to someone that I didn't really know, for about 20 minutes. Some time later he kept popping up in my friend suggestions. We had a similar interest and the smallest number of mutual friends. I was a bit concerned before I knew much about all the tracking, when I found that Google knew the exact time I walked the about 30 yards to the mailbox, daily, at work.

I have developed a habit (20 years in the making) too ignore ads. First it was TV ads then phone and computer. Some products I might buy an inferior product depending on how obnoxious the other ad is (AUTO INSURANCE ADS COME TO MIND)

Due to an error they done a Global sweep n visit of peolpe in Australia Brazil Panama Usa England Spain Holland, i dont hear from them now as they were told I'm a big narco . That's happened to a good few people n its ruined many a good friendship . Just keep it well away when talking & never use it for TV as it'll search for devices n use them .

I feel like I could be a lab rat. KZbin is my only social media. I have a Facebook page but rarely go to/use it. my phone, on average, is used less than once a day. maybe 3x's a week, often less. I have a laptop for daily casual use. yet I mention one thing in a text (another sparsely used) or on a rare phone conversation - and, in your example, I get Disney ads. However, Disney is a broad well-known brand that could be a coincidence but in my direct experience my interest or mention of something on my (android) phone is very specific and lo and behold - my esoteric comment comes to ads. "they" are absolutely monitoring our tech and it feels very 1984-ish, or Big Brother if you prefer. thanks for the tutorial as this vintage woman is skeptical of carrying around my own spy. I call it my electronic leash. I resent it but a person of today has to have one. they can be handy/useful, but I lived for decades in rural areas w/o them, and it was fine. some of this is crabby old lady stuff but it's still very true.

I've seen a few of your vids, and for privacy very good. For ads....do a video on stopping ads. Route via home firewall and pihole, or use a (vpn) adblock. Even a few adblock apps does not require Root. Ads eat bandwidth, data quota, and even phone processing power. Say NO to ads. Just say no.

I specifically changed my trigger word to 'computer' so that it would be activated by Scotty whenever I happened to be watching Star Trek IV ("just use the keyboard"). It still gives me enormous pleasure to have Mongomery Scott activate Alexa long after his death.

There's a way to restrict accelerometer now. You have to go into developer settings. Clicking sensor off. There will be a toggle I'm Your top down settings now. Just click it and it turns off all sensors. Only problem is cameras won't work while it's on.

I highly recommend never doing anything of a financial nature on a "smartphone" - use your desktop PC for these things and NEVER sync your desktop PC with a "smartphone". Also make sure your desktop is running windows 11 for the security features built into it. Thanks Dave & Dave!

Very informative video! I was amazed at how far in the settings for the Facebook app went! What app do you think has the deepest menu? Is this done for a reason? Is the stuff hidden deep for a reason, or is it just good or bad menu design?

Hello There! Thank You for your videos and information!! Is there any way to turn off automatic updates on our samsung android galaxy S20 FE? Do we really need or have to have these updates? Also when we got our new phones a year ago they are 4G and 5G "capable". We made it Clear to them that we wanted them to operate on 4G Only and Not 5G. How can we be sure that our phones are Only operating on 4G network? Thank You Very Much in advance!! We appreciate You both!!

This video made me dizzy. I want to lay down. What happened to phones that could do absolutely nothing but dial the number of someone you wanted to reach? And how do people know that denying a permission isnt really agreeing to even more permissions in the background? How does a person know that denials arent timed and revert to Yeses a few hours later or the next day? Are there any apps available to prevent things like that? How can people fight back against the wave of the force of their use of tracking/spying/ads phones as the required way to do something like pay for goods, enter a building or confirm vax status as opposed to dumping phones altogether?

The answer is yes and yes. On top of everyone's info being sold online. I can talk about something IRL then see ads for it on FB..long story short all of my social media is gone, I only have a youtube and Google and a VPN. I have lost about 70% of my ads randomized and its a far better experience online.

Gotta go into Developer Mode and mute sensors. Then shut it off after it appears as a button in the drop down menu. From then on you can manually turn on and off your camera and microphone access.

We act like third party apps to block another app from using a mic or camera when the app isn't running, can't be created. How about every app operates in a container and is completely isolated when not in use?

Just found out the hard way that some apps will stop working correctly e.g. WhatsApp will not be able to record audio recordings because the sensor is off. So if your apps cannot record your dictation regardless of your permissions setttings, updates and restarting your phone, just turn off your sensor during time of use the turn it back on whe you are done.
