Big Brother Listening In

Have you ever had a discussion with your spouse or friend about some new idea, and then sat down at your computer and seen an ad for that very product?
You may have seen the news articles showing rooms full of computers that are listening to everything? They say this is to prevent insurgents from planning destructive actions in US (and other places), but did you know they also use it for marketing and tracking?
If you have a cell phone, it has a mic. If you have a device like Alexa, it also has a mic, or Ring doorbell, maybe indoor cameras, or mics on your laptops etc.
Big Brother is listening.
Now with the Virus Trump in charge... well, not sure what to expect. Somehow I doubt he will turn all that off, too much money to be made there, but it wouldn't surprise me if he did. He is pretty stupid.

It has happened to me several times. The first couple times I thought it might be just coincidence, but it is not. It has happened on my laptop and on my cell phone ... both.
I believe the opposite, I believe with Trump at the helm it will get even worse. He is a dictator and all dictators want to know what their citizens are doing. I don't think he's any different. I think worse.

Edit: I do not have any devices in my home other thnt 1 laptop and my phone (smart phone). I do not have any Alexa type of devices like someone else implied. I don't even have any devices that could listen other than my laptop and phone. Not even a TV remote that allows for voice commands. Not everything in all countries is the same and to assume so is ignorance. Maybe someone should check their meds 🙄. (know-it-alls are so annoying and rude)
