Go to settings and turn off FaceTime. Bug allows others to eavesdrop on you via FaceTime.

Not a bug. A "hidden feature" to help the NSA protect us. You want to help the gov keep us safe, right?! No changes needed.

Something tells me, if they want to listen, they will. Settings won’t effect it.

Yes they listen. Me and my wife where outside and I mentioned that we needed a new hot tub cover soon. The next day I had adds for hot tub covers. I never searched for a cover, just me and the wife talking with our phones in our pockets. Happened with something else also, but can't remember what it was now.

This seems to be a common occurrence. Ads will pop up and then I swear the same thing happens when random stuff that I may mention in general conversation show up on my YouTube recommendations.

Targeted ads because your phone listens to you is not a conspiracy, it’s reality. It happens and has been happening. Same with Alexa and whatever Google’s version is.

I am no conspiracy theorist by any stretch. But I am aware of private companies have taken technology from government based programs and have privatized and updated previous used surveillance techniques.

Example Stingray and triggerfish are things once only used by the government. Now privatized.

If you doubt me, than do an experiment. Talk about something you want to buy, complete random crap and see if you get adds for it in the near future. Don't do any searches for that item.

I must not have the right apps. I'm pretty sure if the government was listening to me I would be committed or in jail.

I'm going to try it tonight. I absolutely believe it happens, and it has probably happened to me and I just wasn't paying attention.

They aren't discussing Facebook. They are discussing Facetime which is a function on many phones.
