wtf is going on with these fucking tech companies and their intrusive use of cross site tracking? fuck i'm pretty sure i didn't even search for croquette recipes on this computer as I was using my phone at the time I was cooking
It's not the croquettes, the botnet just knows you're fat based on your previous search history and behavior.
Juan Rivera
damm this croquettes do look goood

Pure coincidence, there's nothing to worry about, goy. Either way it's good for you. Don't be a conspiracy theorist nutter. Watch some news, eat some food, breathe in some air, get some sleep and forget about it.

He got complimentary mandatory homosexual fellatio for helping to point out their security flaws?
Your smart phone is an always on listening device.
"For your smartphone to actually pay attention and record your conversation, there needs to be a trigger, such as when you say “hey Siri” or “okay Google.” In the absence of these triggers, any data you provide is only processed within your own phone. This might not seem a cause for alarm, but any third party applications you have on your phone—like Facebook for example—still have access to this “non-triggered” data. And whether or not they use this data is really up to them." - vice.com/en_ca/article/wjbzzy/your-phone-is-listening-and-its-not-paranoia

even when you make them fresh you have to keep them in the fridge for like an hour so the breading doesn't disintegrate into a mess. i can re-use the oil i made with this batch, whereas I had to toss the previous one because of all the breading that came off and burnt from the fresh batch.

Well, they do have services now, but their total revenue was 110B last year, advertising was 95B.
Except I like on Android, where I can literally ask to use the microphone when the device is inactive, those APIs are closed on the iPhone and I can’t use them.

>get iPhone a few days later iOS is objectively worse then Android. The apps on iOS will turn it into a spybot just as fast anyway. So apart from handing a pile of cash to Tim Cook you haven't actually improved your life.
Logan Long
>don't use google services >refuse to install any facebook apps >turn off background app refresh for all apps except apple system & other trusted apps
how hard was that?
Grayson Johnson
You assume 2 things - that the APIs available to you are the same available to Facebook devs; - that Facebook devs play by the rules and don't use an exploit to get around security restrictions.
I would be surprised if neither of these points are correct.
Henry Morris
Just run PilferShush to jam the mic.
Parker Fisher
Do you honestly believe that Apple doesn't use their phones as a spy post? Or are you just being paid to say this?
Henry Jones
Correct, I do assume those things. You assume that Apple would be stupid enough to let a shitty company like Facebook use closed APIs like someone wouldn’t find out.

I trust them more than Google. Should be fucking obvious a company that sells actual products as their primary business model is more worthy of trust than a company who turns their customers into the product.
Owen Bailey
I have always wondered how people in this board can be so fucking naive to think that an OS developed by a company who exists to sell your information would somehow be more secure than one developed by a company that sells hardware.
Jonathan Thompson
Isn't it obvious? Your smartphone has a hidden SMELLOMETER inside.
John Collins
This is why you buy apple products and avoid the google/amazon/facebook botnet.
Gavin Myers
Firstly, I don't think Android is more secure the iOS. I think iOS is about as insecure as Android.
Secondly. Apple sells a brand.
Wyatt Perry
>Secondly. Apple sells a brand. >le useless fucking statement
which is completely different than selling your name, address, location history, search history, cross site tracking history, etc etc...
Honestly, in that scenario, suggesting incest porn may have been scarier.
