Thread 106275974

i looked up liquor stores near me on safari and then like a minute later uber eats sent a push notification to my phone about getting liquor delivered
how exactly are applications communicating to each other without me interacting with them? some form of global keylogger or something?

It's a fucking cartoon robot.

If you searched on Google or Bing, they can trace that to you using advertising networks. Sometimes even DuckDuckGo searches can result in this kind of behavior if you're particularly unique.

>>106275974 (OP)
you word it as to suggest it was because of safari but it's actually google, where you searched for that specific query

>>106275992
what about it
>>106276000
happens when im talking too, really curious if any anons have some insight into the tech behind this obvious breach of personal privacy

>>106276012
Some mobile applications have both your location and access to a microphone. Even if you in particular do not have one of these applications installed, someone who is walking or standing near you might.

>>106276010
the google account linked in my safari is different from the one being used for my uber account though, it has to be different than cross referencing accounts across applications
>>106276007
put a sock in it

>>106276027
it's not based on accounts. they build a profile on you across multiple accounts and multiple services

>>106276021
isnt the stuff thats public still not very good at recognizing voice even when spoken right into the mic though? whatever they have on the backend must be pretty damn good

how's the animatronic going?

>>106276038
I generally tend to think that governments and corporations have a higher ability to surveil us than what we know might suggest.

>>106275974 (OP)
Are you sure that is not something you order very often enough to the point Uber eats reminds you that you are a low-life alcoholic? Addicts are easy customers.

>>106276021
Isn't this proven false? I read something a long time ago where they tested this and the way they were getting targeted ads is because of the things you search, looked, posted, or bought in the past?

>>106276075
no i never order alcohol on uber eats
>>106276069
i dont doubt it, i kinda believe the “your cpu is backdoored “ schizos even if its just vibes and no real evidence

>>106276021
the iphone has a light indicator when an app is using the camera or microphone. it's how instagram was immediately exposed, after the OS update that enabled this feature, for recording people's faces while using the app, then claiming it was a "bug"
>inb4 they have a special, secret way of giving access to the mic without turning the light on
none of us could know for sure but surely that'd be reserved for governments and/or more important occasions, not for selling to fucking uber the fact that you want to buy some booze

>>106276122
>they have a special, secret way of giving access to the mic without turning the light on
but they do thoughbeit

>>106276122
that little light is what us boys in the biz like to call a false sense of security

>>106276131
yes now read the line under it
>>106276144
yet no one has ever been able to find any evidence it uploads any sort of data recorded on device to remote servers. it's one of the reasons siri is so shite.
I don't defend corporations, they're all bad, it's just funny how people say ios is the spyware mobile os when android sends your location in real time to google's servers and they even taunt you with an email at the end of the month with a map of where you went with a total number of cities and places you visited.

>>106276069
I agree with them having the capability but question if they can do it at scale.

Internet cookies + literal networking between all websites imaginable.

Ever checked the list of vendors when going through the cookie agreement thing on a new website? You may be shocked to find over 1000 different companies showing "legitimate interests" towards your browsing habits and history.

Google also spies your phone and smart device microphones.

It's a mystery!

That's the joy of everything these days profiting from selling every little scrap of data that has your name on it

A mix of cookies, your viewing history, the ads you get and profiling. It's actually more scary than direct surveillance. They have like a profile algorithm that tries to predict what you would crave or want to buy, based on the history of your purchases and the profiling that they make with other data. At some point the algorithm actually predicted your craving. It doesn't always do it, so many times you don't even remember, you see a 'random' or 'unrelated' notification and just swipe it and don't think about it..

>>106275974 (OP)
They're all sharing your browsing data with third parties. Who then share it on. That's why firms like facebook make so much money, they put together your browsing data to advertise to you.

>>106276021
So you didn't read the 2884 pages that you agreed to? You basically agreed to give all of your data to anyone. I've seen it many times when I or someone else talk about something and a phone is in the same room, sometimes minutes later, ads show up for example strawberry ice cream which was mentioned in a conversation. It doesn't have to be my phone, it can be a friends smartwatch or similar.

On android the system and other privileged apps don't have to use the indicator light for camera/mic/location.

>>106275974 (OP)
they literally do sell advertising data to eachother yes

Damn, the future used to look so bright...

iirc the cia, nsa, etc. have gone on record saying that most of their hiring boom a few years back was just to filter through all that data. they absolutely "know" everything but it's all just data sitting on servers that no one has ever read and no one knows what to actually do with

turns out that knowing you buy three dragon dildos a month is pretty poor blackmail material and also not a predictor of terrorist status
