We got a free one from Telsta and our 5 year old grandson caught on to "OK google tell me a funny joke" very bloody quickly. Even BAD bon bon jokes are good by comparison. About the only thing we use it for is timers and alarms. Who knows what google use it for.....[bighmmm][bighmmm]Quote:

You’re being watched, observes, listened too... all the time.

How can you be sure?
It would definitely be tracking your movements and reporting them to advertisers.
Go into Westfield shopping centres and the centre also tracks your movements.
If you have a Smart TV it could be watching you and reporting your viewing habits to various companies.
Privacy is dead.
If it’s a Nokia 3310 you’re probably right [emoji41]Quote:

I turned all that off - Google does not know where I am. I also don’t get targeted advertisements.Quote:

Advertisements are driven by the user, not the forum.Quote:

That information is classified, if you learn the answer you'll have to 'get in the van'. [emoji15]Quote:

Just disconnect your TV from the internet if you want privacy. Of course, your laptop and mobile will still be spying on you.
