Ok, this is enough. Over the past several months, I've encountered several instances where ads pop up in my browser that are not related to searches, but rather seem to be the result of eavesdropping.
My wife, daughter, and I were talking about drive in theaters and the good old days of sneaking in inside the trunk. We did no searches, but all of the sudden a few days later, I got an ad about a drive in theater. That is no coincidence, I promise you.
It also has happened with two more topics.
I do have voice search enabled, but I didn't realize they were monitoring my background conversations for ad targeting. If you go to Google, you can actually hear all the convos that were recorded, supposedly only as a result of direct voice searches. They are doing this, and it isn't right. Not a tinfoil problem.
