Your Phone Isn’t Spying on You to Show You Ads (It’s Worse Than That)
lifehacker.com
Your iPhone is not eavesdropping on your conversations to sell you things. It’s actually much worse.

I changed the title from “Spying” to “Eavesdropping” because the article actually directly supports that it is “spying” on you, just not listening.

    I stopped reading when it started suggesting VPNs. Your’re far more likely to be profiled by a VPN provider than your ISP.

    Privacy is not a product you can purchase.

      I live in a country where our ISPs are required by law to keep a record of our internet metadata. When ISPs have been subpoenaed in the past ths answer has often been “we don’t keep that data”.

      So in that case we’re looking at a likelihood of 1 vs less than 1. So you’re wrong there.

      Plus, I would love to hear your source on these probabilities you proclaim. Can you share how you know this?

      You said “far more likely”, so one assumes you have the numbers.
