NSA literally came out and said they tap American phone calls and have an entire apparatus to do so via telecommunications companies. This, after Snowden dropped that whistleblower bombshell in like, 2011 or 2012.

Then you have the fact that certain companies have come forward (employees maintaining anonymity considering what they tried to do to Snowden, and what they've done to prior whistleblowers on serious shit) that:
A) Your phone is a personal GPS tracking device.
B) Shutting it off does not stop the tracking.
C) It does have an input system that allows it to "listen". Like a tap-wire or a room bug for those "spy" movies.
D) No, you can't shut it off via programs. All you can really do to effectively deprogram it is to hijack the phone itself from the company service plan and LoJack its internal computation to remove the software, or completely remove the battery from the phone itself.

Ultimately, how is it that you get wildly random ads that just so happen to be oddly tailored to your specifically previously voiced product that you've thought about getting or wanting but could never really find, with no prior search history in your algorithms to show "cookies" or "information collection"?

Even if they aren't listening, your information and data is being sold without your consent and there's really no way for you to "stop" them.

One day me and my brother were hanging out and this subject came up. He started talking about buying a toilet and when he logged into Facebook there was an ad for a toilet. They listen.

When you’re so terrified of what you advocate that you have to lie to yourself about it, so you can sleep at night.

@user-vr3ex1fj7c

It happened to me a lot of times that i were talking about something with a friend, and randomly ads or recomendations about the theme we were talking start to pop up

@summerobannon7784

right that why I get ads after talking with friends about some but never looking it up on my phone

@BlackOnyx9EB

Rebuttal question: How can your phone hear you randomly say "hey Siri/Google" if it's not constantly listening to you?

@aiqua383

I appreciate the nuanced discussion going on in the comments sectipn of this video: brad explains his point of view and the comments say "lmao fed imagine believing this"

@SgtHatred42

If devices aren't listening to you, then how can a personal assistant respond when you ask for help? I'll wait while you explain

@bear_jaws

Roku and most modern smart TVs are constantly listening to you. If you mention diapers 100% chance you will get an ad for it.

@richardfreeman8458

You are totally willfully ignorant if you honestly think your phone ISNT listening to you. We are teaching AI with everything we do on these devices, and they are listening. He must be a paid shill....

@kimconley3782

Then why can I be talking about buying something and I get ads for that item?  No search.

@shawnsutton7586

This simp 😂😂😂😂😂sure buddy nobody’s listening 🤣😂🤣😂

@googleuser8211

Sorry, Skippy, your snide little video is incorrect! (*or is it AGENT Skippy?)

@Ulric_PenDo

Nah, theres no way they arent listening to my thoughts. Ive never talked about the pope but i think about him all the time so why is wayfair ads showing me life sized cut outs of the pope???? Coincident? I THINK NOT

@MediocreTCG

You're a bot if you think they don't listen

@MountainMysticWV

@CarzyAutumn

Yeah, no. They are listening to you. You need to stop smoking or drinking that stuff.

@MWAclanGaming

You're in denial
