We grudgingly accept the invasion of privacy we’ve given into through our smart phones because advertising is how they pay for all the “free” services they provide. Yet almost everyone wants to keep the Government from accessing the same information because they’re convinced they will use it against us for some evil purpose.
A girl I used to work with wore false eyelashes—the kind applied by a stylist and are meant to be worn for weeks before removal. She mentioned that she would be removing hers over the weekend. That night, I saw several videos in my feed about how to remove those exact kind of eyelashes. Don’t tell me my phone isn’t listening!
i’m sure there is an app to block telemarketers. i don’t get any at all on my phone because i only use it for texts, calls, taking pics, and the weather.
People, you don’t need an “application” (that is the grown-up word for “app”). I can’t speak for ALL “cellular telephones” (that is the grown-up term for “cell phones”), but mine has an “on/off” button which is quite effective in quite effective in managing annoying messages. Sergio should try it.
And somewhat like “j.l.farmer”, above my cellular telephone is used strictly for communication with fellow humans, my “ringtone” is exactly like a model 500 desk telephone and I know how to silence it and let the call go to “messaging” if neither I nor my telephone recognizes the incoming number.
Here’s a handy tip: did you know that – even when your cellular telephone in “off” mode – messages can be left for you? Amazing! (and something children of all ages do NOT comprehend – especially in theaters, churches and other meetings! But it’s TRUE!)
Rare to get any text message other than from husband and sisters and no ads. Texts to and from husband consist of – dinner is ready I text “ok” he texts back "ok"and comes down for dinner. Pre virus we also had the him – “?” me – “ladies room” set of texts while in stores. Sisters text “saw mom, looks good” I text “thank you”.

Make me wonder sometimes where the camera is. The ones that really annoy me are for the exact item I just bought.

There is nothing wrong with your television set… do not attempt to adjust the picture… We are controlling transmission…
