Google is doing TOO much. They really are spying brehs

[jadillac]

So yest evening, i was at the barbershop. I got there a little late as they were closing and they were having a small New Years celebration with a fish fry and a dj in the back room.

The dj was playing a bunch of old school music. Primarily Maze & Frankie Beverly, Roger and Zapp etc

Mind you, this music was loud and blaring like a club, so my phone could easily pick it up if it was listening.

Fast forward to TODAY, this afternoon. I get a notification on my phone for a Google Rewards survey. I click on the survey and On God, the survey asked 3 questions. The first was about a place I'd been. The 2nd question asked if I recently listened to a particular Frankie Beverly and Maze song(can't rem the song name, but it wasn't the song the dj was playing) .

And the third question asked me, how likely was I to watch/listen to this YouTube video.


I swear. The Google survey has NEVER asked me about music before. And i have NOT searched for any Maze & Frankie Beverly songs.


Anybody else ever had this happen, or something similar?

You sure you didn’t let a random app have complete access to the camera/speaker/mic?

they just tracked your location to a hair business
usually they just doing it for advertisment they dont care about the shea moisture your girl wants

 

[50CentStan]

Google maps knows when in driving a car or when I'm riding the motorbike it's trippy

Something was active on your phone that either has camera access (your camera app itself), location, or the mic. That's too random otherwise.

Swear this happened to me 2 weeks ago.

I bought a car battery charger from Walmart bc my battery went dead while i was in the store.

A couple days later I'm on the Coli and an Amazon ad link for the same product(different brand) is atbthe top of the page.

In 2018 people are still shocked by what Google has been doing since the early 2000s
