Algorithms
Stores and websites remember everything you look at or buy. They use those discount store cards and even your credit card numbers to select items you might be interested in like private jets or sex dolls, LOL. If they get your mobile phone number they send you offers. They even track your location to send you ads from stores you are near. Apparently collecting your personal data and linking it all together is big business.
Do not use facebook or social media of any kind. Don't use store discount cards, credit cards, or a mobile phone, pad, etc, and pay with cash. They seem to be trying to get rid of copper phone lines and all you can get is a VOIP landline phone. They are also trying to get rid of cash. Way back when we were supposed to get a discount for cash instead of using a card. Around here government agencies still charge a 'convenience fee' when using plastic instead of cash so the laws still have to be there.
I have to laugh at movies when they talk about 'burner phones', -just try to buy a cheap phone without a hundred forms of ID for government tracking systems. The government has been tracking and listening to ALL phone calls since the 70's with the help of the phone companies. |

Private jets, and sex dolls? Frank has lived life in the fast lane!
A couple of years ago in the U.K. They abolished the charge for paying by card. And now with Corona, encourage you to use contactless payment.
Alexa listens to everything. 🙄

Facebook is a horrible infection. Browsers and websites seem to spread it everywhere. It is difficult to eradicate, especially if you don't have control over your devices.

Make your searches much more precise. Precise keyboard use helps also, sloppy keyboard use makes things much worse. I much preferred the old days before the search A.I. at Google tried to 'help'. Voice to text apps do not help either. |
