We can thank the patriot act for the extra surveillance. Honestly though, even without the patriot act they would've found another way to do it. It's crazy that you can be talking to someone in person with your phone locked on the table, (pocket, etc) and the next time you get on any social media site you'll get ads or posts related to what you were talking about. Doesn't matter if you looked it up or not. I remember talking to someone and they mentioned how they've never watched forrest gump and that night i got a forest Gump quiz pop up on Facebook.

Patriot Act has also allowed the FBI to much much more easily gain access to warrants from FISA courts. My family’s house was raided 6 years ago over some petty BS my brother was doing. Essentially he impersonated one of his employees to access their online website. The employee later was fired and was able to get 30 plus FBI agents to bust into our house at 5:00 am guns loaded. My mom was scarred for life bc of it. I slept through them initially entering the house so when they got to my room upstairs they were on high alert wondering why I hadn’t come out. They banged on the door and stormed in. 4 different ppl 2 local cops 2 FBI agents had their guns drawn on me. They then escorted me down stairs and proceeded to take every electronic device in the house except our phones bc they have this device that loads all the phones info onto it. Anyways they took thousands of dollars worth of electronics and it was pretty traumatic. 6 years later nothing has been returned and my brother has yet to be charged with anything.

The two craziest events I’ve had relating to this are: 1. I went to a bar the other day to meet with a friend which is something I very rarely do and was wearing a dad hat with a specific quote embroidered in it. I hadn’t wore this hat in a while. While I was at the bar, I scrolled through my Instagram for a little bit and get an ad for the same exact hat with the same exact quote. Not a word was said about it ever which makes me assume my front camera was the culprit. 2. I was wearing my favorite shorts one day. I’ve had them for like 5 years and are very worn down but they’re super comfy. I got an H&M ad on Instagram for the same exact shorts which I got at H&M way back then. Again nothing was said about them so camera?

Terms of service agreements are known as contracts of forced adhesion. If you don't agree to it, then you can't use the product or service. Of course, nobody is ever going to read a TOS agreement. How many of us are contract lawyers on our days off or do it as an actual profession and for a living? The average citizen has to roll with the notion that anything you use, tech related, will track you and store and sell your data. If it's free to use, pretty much assume you are now a product being bought and sold by the company who made it.

Are you entitled to walk into someone else's business, naked, and demand service? Of course people using these services are a product being sold. Ever been on a "free cruise", where all you had to do was sit and listen to a time share presentation for 3 hours? It's the same thing, but I don't hear you complaining about Wyndham Hotels and Resorts... I got a "free cruise" to the Bahamas like that 5 years ago, I still get random calls from telemarketers trying to get me to go to various time share presentations by giving me "free" stuff to this day, because all my information is in some Wyndham database somewhere.

Yes. My friend has a knife business that also sells gun accessories and PayPal took $1500 from him for "damages dude to TOS violations" because PayPal doesn't want people to "certain gun accessories" or gun related things but it doesn't specifically say what. Also in PayPal TOS just about every product or service you can imagine is vaguely listed. So at any given time for any business, PayPal can take your money for "damages" and not face any consequences for doing so. Private companies can manipulate, exploit, and violate our rights in all kinds of ways.

Many payment platforms as well as couriers like USPS and Fedex as examples, refuse to handle anything to do with firearms, ammunition or even accessories under this program. Right now an example of this is the Louis CK comedy specials, Paypal is a payment option and they refused my ability to pay using PayPal. Using the same CC directly, it went through. They are wielding access to your own money or the ability to use it for political reasons and that will continue to grow.

Didn't think much of it & later that day when I went to my HOME PC & got on YT, sure enough I started getting ads for Pedialyte, even though I was on my home PC.

Never experienced it myself. Are you positive that this isn't a case of confirmation bias?

[@roberthiggins2252]

I agree, there have been a couple times I have been talking to my wife about a completely random movie (like The Mask), and the next day, I see an ad to buy that movie on my phone.

[@tyriqcollier5509]

Thank you! We look at past through rose glasses but even prior generations falling into tricks of buying literally everything on credit is part of reason why these corporations and entities even have the amounts of money they do to do whatever they want.

I mentioned to my wife that I wanted to look up local KOA camping sites and take the kids camping. The next morning I had advertisements for KOA sites. I've never once in my life seen an add for that and I never did look it up. That 100% proved to me my phone is picking up conversations. Scary fckin times man

[@Texas_Cruiser]

I get this on my TV and I'm not signed into KZbin. And sometimes I have these discussions with the TV off. I can bring up that I need to pick up shaving cream the next time we go to the store and out of nowhere the next time I turn the TV on I get an ad for men's shaving cream.

[@phillipoliverholtz9226]

so what did you do about it ? nothing right ? thats whats scary... you've perceived a threat and just continue towards it.

[@eoinshine]

Its bits like this that make me hope one day Joe and Jamie do a podcast with just two of them

[@DekkarJr]

They've done them a few times before.

Thanks

The more important part is who’s listening? No amount of humans could input that amount of info and respond immediately. AI is almost totally in control.

[@laaaliiiluuu]

AI that is programmed for the wellbeing of the elites

[@Audiablo]

Lack of even basic technical knowledge is a massive problem with almost all so-called conspiracy theories. For example...people keep blathering on about AI but all this 'AI' is that you refer to is a series of rules; data is passed in (ie your search history, previous purchases etc etc) and a result is spat out. Whether it's a KZbin feed, targeted advertisement etc, at a high level it all works in pretty much the same way. No AI, technomancy or dark magic needed, just rules, inputs and outputs. The problem with most conspiracy theorists is they lack baseline knowledge of the subject area, so inevitably sound like fools and, therefore, make the ideas they are espousing sound foolish.

All of our digital data is being saved. What we say. What we type. What we watch where we are. ALL OF IT. It’s being saved on massive servers and used for various purposes. Why wouldn’t they?

[@wroger6746]

There’s NOTHING artificial about AI. It’s sentient and a actual alien entity runs it.

[@reydelguitarhero]

@@Audiablo no one said dark magic lol

[@Jason-rk4nd]

Your phone is 100% listening to you. I deliver pizza and on a delivery a song on the radio came on i havent heard since i was a kid so i was wailing along singing it. When i got home what do you think was my first recomended song on youtube. GG checkmate.

[@cd6615]

My phone sent me when the next episode of TV show I was watching at motel

[@no_alias_for_me]

They are definitely listening to your conversations when it comes to ads. Jamie has a point but I got ads that were way too specific. Friend of mine and I were talking about a certain kind of torchlight (that you can use while hunting, has a certain wavelength which deer can't see) and THE NEXT DAY I suddenly get ads for this specific torchlight. I mean come on.

[@FiasStuart8434]

I got an ad for a Hoover vacuum after discussing the old President with my mother in law. Yes, it’s listening.

The Rogan is finally catching up to topics that are three years old.
