So I had a verbal conversation with a coworker yesterday and now I’m getting fed very specific ads. No possible way it’s accidental. I have most of the microphone access to apps limited, I have Google assistant turned off and no VPA setup in my home. I use a Oneplus 9 pro, does anyone have recommendations on how to further root cause this or just par for the course for using any standard android OS? Have other folks had similar experience after locking down their stock phones?

    That’s why I said I can’t confirm nor deny that’s the case. At this point, I’m just too paranoid about every single big tech corporation out there. I went from calling the people that taped webcams crazy to having a large variety of covers for every single webcam in my possession. The same with the security cameras. From having Arlos, Wyze and all that to getting rid of all of them and now self-hosting all of them with frigate. At the end of the day, be it data you upload willingly, surveillance over what you do on your devices, microphone, camera or none, the creepy level we’re at today is just insane.
