i've been working in a coworking space for a few weeks. I have 0 professional or social media interactions with the other people in the office, but I just checked linkedin's suggested connections and a bunch of them are there "based on your profile". i assume this was done by ip crossreferencing but it was weird as gently caress.

If you are a brand you may be intersted in the "ability to understand high-value consumers across anonymous touchpoints, providing a critical first step to a holistic view of their journey" Don't worry though quote:Protecting consumer privacy is paramount. Tapad has been privacy-first from the beginning and has an ongoing commitment to transparency, user control, and user privacy with full disclosure as to the data collected, processed and stored. there should be a rule where if you say you have full disclosure but 0% of your subjects know about it because you're lying you get fined into oblivion.

its like that twilight zone episode where the neighbors turn on each other during a power outage as each new report claims neighbors knew they didnt lock there car that day and specifically went through their very visible bag. how else would anyone know it was there?!?!?!

The conversation needs to recast phones as neural prosthetics, and spying as invasion of the mind. This app is selling my thoughts to the highest bidders

These people may have tried to look you up. Or they may have uploaded their entire address book to automate that process. Facebook used to ask this too, to the point of "give us your e-mail password and we'll only download your address book".

"thanks for all of the footage from your stores. this customer may have frowned and has a satisfaction rating of 20% also we're cross referencing this with all the other videos we have access to thanks"

If you can't avoid having something/someone spy on you, you could try to feed it incorrect data.

I added a book of classy nudes to my cart once, and for months afterwards I had naked women show up in my AdSense results. When my ad results calmed back down, I just went back and re-added it. I think it only stopped because the book isn't carried any longer (nsfw): https://www.bergdorfgoodman.com/p/taschen-helmut-newton-sumo-hardcover-book-prod140420071?childItemId=BGHBKWQ_ There's really is no reason not to game the algorithms.

This government agency sent me a letter with a survey, asking me for feedback on my experience with them. They said it was anonymous, but they keep sending reminders asking me to do the survey, because they can see I haven't bothered.
