I keep seeing ads for the very specific chemo I used to be on

There’s really no need to advertise this because you’ll already know about it if you need it.

Someone sold off my medical records or something.

How predatory and gross.

I swear to god I've just thought of things and they appeared in ads online. I was talking to an old computer geek programmer kinda guy (I clean for him and orher help around the house because he's elderly. He's got a room full of wires and computers and all kind of stuff. He does some kind of work with scientists. I completely forget what at the moment.) recently about this, and he was talking about the things and computer processes it takes to do all of this. He was talking about just saying something, and ads pop up which happens to everyone all the time. It's not even your data being sold, you're being listened to somehow.

@Notsimilarreally our phones and TVs are definitely collecting our voice data. They only admit to collecting what we search for by triggering on listening but I think that’s BS lol

@Notsimilarreally I say it goes even deeper than being listened to somehow...they're in your head/thoughts I think of blue and get ads for generic blue pills.
