Man tests if Google is listening to his iPhone mic in live video... Watch what he finds

[A Voice from the Mountains]

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zBnDWSvaQ1I


This guy does a live stream, and surfs around the Internet looking at Google ads, as a control.

Then he says "dog toys" into his microphone and goes back and looks through Google ad results again.

Take a wild guess what happens next.


This video is a must-watch. Have a computer in your living room? Ever have personal conversations near your computer? What about your cell phones or television? Knowledge is power, people.

[O Donna]

Holy crap, batman! If this is true as it sure looks that way in the video, I am blown at how invasive technology has become. Also suspect this may be just the tip of the iceberg. I do not have a mic of web cam but, damn!

Curious as to how the online community is going to react to this ever increasing invasion. Ugh!

[A Voice from the Mountains]

Yes, it IS just the tip of the iceberg, because your cell phones and even smart appliances such as TVs and anything else with a mic can do the same thing.

They can also tell by background noise what type of environment you're in, whether you're on a bus, train, at home watching TV, etc. Not that they couldn't get that from GPS data as well. But they are getting every piece of info from every single angle that they can on you through these devices.

[O Donna]

At some point that animal is going to turn rabid, it's already starting to foam at the mouth.

[Bill Ryan]

I wonder if anyone else spotted this. At 4:40, when he's setting up his test, he twice in 10 seconds mentions that he wants AFFORDABLE dog toys.

A few minutes later, when he then looks at the ads that have appeared, he sees an ad for A FORD truck, and passes it by without making the connection.

~~~

Another test to do — for anyone — is to see if e-mails are read and passed onto advertisers when certain topics are mentioned. If you have two addresses, you could e-mail yourself, from account #1 to account #2, talking about how you really have to go shopping online tomorrow for (say) a new bed, or a kitchen appliance. I really think I'll do that.

[Olam]

I did just that today...will give the results in a few days...if not a few hours, or even worst in a few minutes!

[Gemma13]

Too much evidence when ads appear from voice now, as well as text, to dispute sophisticated invasive technology.  Voice analysis very common request when phoning departments/companies before one gets the opportunity to speak to a human operator so I can't imagine this tech not being used for data analysis over every voice connection that is in close proximity to tech.

Incidently:  I requested on-line (text) chat the other day for my phone company to resolve an issue and it took a bit of (frustrating) navigation to bypass the A.I. who named itself (Steven or some such name), who offered solutions and then asked me to have patience as IT was in training and would really like to resolve my issue before transferring me to a human operator.  IT kept asking me to rephrase my question (sigh).

Anyway what I wanted to share was a curiosity as to just how sophisticated technology is, that we are unaware of, that takes us into the realm of woowoo.  For example:

For the past few days "macaroni cheese" has been popping into my thoughts.  Haven't made it for several years.  This morning I spotted small noodles in one of my glass cannisters and felt a rush of excitement about making mac cheese over the next day or so.

An hour later my daughter came to me and said "Mum I really, really feel like macaroni cheese".  I smiled as I was internally putting this down to common shared telepathy until she went on to show me where her craving originated.  A girlfriend had just sent her a meme on her phone of a bird sitting in a bowl of macaroni cheese!

Coincidence?  Or is there a level of surveillance and influential technology crossing the thought barriers without consent.  i.e. have we already been "uploaded" to the cloud?

I personally don't doubt this but proving it ... well that a lot harder.  But perhaps over time as more and more insignificant circumstances, like macaroni cheese, come to light to dissolve coincidence theory then a case could be publically brought to light for discussion/evaluation. 

We can of course only cringe at "what else besides a craving for mac cheese" is being covertly thought infiltrated via technology to more than one person in close proximity to each other.

As I have come to my own personal awareness that our thoughts, emotions and body are not US but a machine that we operate, (sadly in conjunction with a powerful set of "covert" programming that is difficult to identify let alone counter), I diligently analyze, process, and filter (to the best of my current abilities) all thoughts, emotions and physical reactions that do not resonate with the ME that I have identified to be real.

On a positive note I am hopeful that when we do eventually conclusively unravel and identify this sophisticated tech we will actually draw closer to answering the million dollar question of who we are.

[wnlight]

i am really loking forward to a great steak dinner out! We had to postone our trip to the USA. See if I get a response from Corporate America by posting this on PA. I will try for another purchase topic in email. See what happens ...

[Gemma13]

Well, well, well a quick search and maybe not so woowoo after all.  Considering it can be reasonably assumed that when tech hits a crude stage in mainstream it has been highly developed, mastered, and contolled "underground" then human neural network access by A.I. isn't as far fetched as it sounds.

https://www.thesun.co.uk/tech/5263693/black-mirror-ai-machine-read-mind-japan-university/

SCIENTISTS have created a creepy artificial intelligence system that can read your mind.
(...)

"Neural networks are at the centre of many developments in AI including Google's translation tool, Facebook's facial recognition software and Snapchat's live filters."

(Apologies haven't vetted publication source but enough gist is in this article to dig deeper for those inclined.)

That to me is a sure sign that it is A.I doing the watching, and not some actual person?

Just like A.I watches all those expert Fighting and computer Waring gamers, some of those guy's-gall's are quite amazing at winning them and A.I is there being trained by them.

[Valerie Villars]

I'll do a test on world peace, happiness, free will and millions of (fake) dollars printed on worthless pieces of paper and see what happens. I could also do no one is starving, suffering or psychologically tortured and see what it comes up with. I'll bet, nothing.

[Olam]

I did just that today...will give the results in a few days...if not a few hours, or even worst in a few minutes!

So here is what I did.
I sent a gmail account email to a friend mentioning I really love purple shirts and that I was looking to buy one. Asked her if she knew of any good websites that sell nice purple shirts..
:-)
She was like, " Why are you asking ME that"?, " How should I know"?
hehe
I told her never mind, will explain later.

I then went around websites, kind of random places I never go and shopping places.

Well I will say right away that I never saw an add for a purple shirt.
I realized I had to remove my adblocker too..!
Also realized that I never ever go to those websites, I never browse just because I'm bored and so I don't visit those "cool videos" websites
or websites to visit when your bored.
SO, maybe I should check longer, not sure how thats going to go.

It was a good excersise though, I realized how much time people loose in the their lives browsing all those amazingly stupid websites!, zero calorie websites, you could check those everyday for the rest of your life and still have lots to go. Just amazing whats out there to get people lost in a daze of meaningless info.!

Note: On the reverse side thought, I am getting lots of spam emails having been flagged by passing thru those junk websites, so in that sense, I have been logged when visiting them. On my main account thought, not thge one I used for the test...

Now I have to write to my friend again explaining to her what I did there....lol

[CurEus]

I wonder how this is used in conjunction with our phones....

On the one hand I would expect that this "could" be used to gain advance intel on potential threats to peace but could also be nefariously used to derail legitimate democratic and lawful discontent with the excesses of the state.
By removing Facebook and related apps many users report a 30% increase in battery life...just what are these apps doing in the background when not specifically opened by users?

I asked a traffic analyst in Toronto why they didn't ask Google and GPS/Satnav companies for metadata on driving statistics so they could improve traffic light timing and the flow of traffic in the city. Google wanted $30 MILLION dollars.

We are the product...

Perhaps it is time to consider paying for a secure browser.......if there even is one.

It's merely a voice recognition system that's programmed to look for certain combinations of key words. Real 'A.I.' is something quite different.

Yes, it's easy to turn off a microphone. REALLY interesting would be to do tests to see if 'Dog Toys' (etc!) are detected with the mic turned off.

[Daozen]

I noticed that mic appear a while back. I'm not suprised at all they are live tracking audio. This is mainly about entrainment. Getting us to shrug, say meh, and eventually accept a soft surveillance state.

Can you use Javascript to disable the internal browser mic + cam? I'm building a site now and am interested in browser security, specifically what surveillance cameras you can switch off using JS:

https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Web_Audio_API

The really paranoid part of me thinks they might be able to override any settings set by Javascript in the browser. But remember... ***we agreed to the Google Terms and Conditions.*** None of this was forced on anyone. I speak as someone who has a gmail account. They have to respect our free will, and get our consent. Using Chrome or gmail is consenting to their plan.

Downloading chromium might help. I wonder if live audio tracking still works if you're using chromium.

[Ernie Nemeth]

My post was not appreciated by the gate keepers. So I will just drop it.

By the way, Avalon is getting more and more difficult to get to. And once here, this site often is far slower and freezes regularly. Avalon has also been removed from my favorites list a few times. Same for infowars. But Avalon is much worse.

I often have to retype my texts because the site froze in the middle of texting - just like this time.

The gist of what I had written was that we do not own our electronics we only rent them. They are not our property. And the rental cost is far too high! The prices are geared toward ownership, but in fact, since we do not control our tech, it is merely a rental - with all rights reserved by the manufacturer.

Am I supposed to believe that the mic is really off? Seems it still reacts to sounds even when it's set to off.:)

[Daozen]

I don't believe that setting a mic to off genuinely stops it picking up sound. And I wonder if the JS audio/visual API is overridable. Deep in the Terms and Conditions of most big tech sites there will most likely be a clause where they can continue monitoring if they wish. The only real options is to do a Zuckerberg and tape up cameras and mics, or take out the USB cable.

Using getUserrMedia to tell users if their mic or camera is on would be a massive step towards transparency, for any site that wanted to be more honest.

This codepen will bring up a popup that will tell you the status of a mic and cam.

Wolfie (RIP) helped me hone in on my thought-to-thought communications that I had mostly lost from my younger years. It’s a matter of paying attention and practice for the skill to come back on line. It’s always been there. Turn down the dial on the inside and outside chatter.

I continue to practice with babies and little kids when I’m out and about. They’re still linked up to what’s a natural part of us. They reciprocate with smiles, giggles, and stares as I walk by. The little, little ones wave their hands and feet with glee. Sometimes I catch them reading the auric field. I appreciate and thank them for their feedback.

That's funny Running Deer. I have a piece of lined paper that is split from age, with tape, over mine. What's even more bizarre is my 13 year old niece, who knows nothing of conspiracy realities, saw the tape and asked me to do the same to her computer because she said she always got a weird feeling someone was watching her.

Apparently, intuition runs in families.

[A Voice from the Mountains]

That to me is a sure sign that it is A.I doing the watching, and not some actual person?

Exactly, because there isn't enough manpower in these companies to constantly monitor the microphones of every appliance that everyone is using all the time, and plus, if it was a human, they'd obviously know it was a test and likely not go along with it.

They have AI algorithms trying to decipher what is being said in real time, and from what Bill noticed, it seems like the algorithms aren't much more sophisticated than speech-to-text software, which is still really buggy. Google may have access to better technology than the speech-to-text than is publicly available, but it's still not perfect based on the above.

It won't be long though until they have better and better stuff listening in. Google is basically a private NSA now, that can be used by anyone with access worldwide. That alone is terrifying.

FACEBOOK'S SECRET MIND READING DEVICE TO BE UNVEILED NEXT MONTH.

Hmmm So how many public "experiments/trials" have been conducted to prove out this tech I wonder.

I'm not a scientist but thinking about experimental processes I can see explanations for benign "mac cheese" trials.  Send coded "mac cheese" signal package that has embedded telepathic coding package coupled to coding connected to web and ability to transfer to human neural networks in close proximity.  If "mac cheese data" is successfully received it is then fluid between human and artificial network - but it would have to have some form of powerful driver to make data significantly prominent.

Anyway, makes sense to me and is of course all in line with transhumanism and cloud augmentation.

What a masterful creation for control freaks to control herd populations -  Godlike Puppet Masters.

What I would like to know is the coding for the firewall that they no doubt have to be immune to their own control coding.  And of course we can individually develop our own firewalls but how is general populace gonna work that out (sigh).

[Sunny]

For a period of time I had two computers: an old one that was breaking down and a new one that wasn't fully set up. The old one was using Firefox, with StartPage "the world's most private search engine", "enhanced by Google". I had an ad blocker, so I never had to deal with ads. The second compute also had Firefox but Google was the default search engine, and I hadn't gotten around to changing it. The two computers were on the same LAN network. One day I did a search on the first computer for "black seed oil". When I used the second computer, I got the shock of my life. I went to a blog that I often go to, and there was an ad superimposed on it for black seed oil. Apparently Firefox can transfer information from one computer to another unless you change its default settings. Needless to say, I changed the Firefox settings, put the ad block back on and use DuckDuckGo as my search engine.

Weird. You don't think some association was made based on the IP address of the LAN? That's the first thing I'd guess but maybe they can do other stuff too.

You know, having big, loud office parties is another way to drown out listening devices. Coincidentally I noticed that Trump had a disco party at the "Southern White House" a few weeks back. Mara Lago is undoubtedly less surveilled than Washington DC. I walked around outside the White House at the end of December and I had the creepiest feeling that every single square inch of that whole block was under intense scrutiny. You can feel the tension in the air up there. Everybody seems very alert. Police stationed all around on the streets too of course. Just a weird place to be.

[MorningFox]

It certainly wouldn't surprise me as something they would like to do, however I do have some questions...

Mainly that a microphone that is always on and always broadcasting to some Google database, would no doubt consume vast amounts of battery and data which does not seem to be the case...

It's possible this guy had previously searched for or been on websites relevant to the buzz words he used.

As I say it wouldn't surprise me but I'm still not convinced that they could constantly listen and broadcast that data from so many billions of phones without there being obvious energy and data trails.

Maybe not, I don't know...

[Bill Ryan]

Apparently Firefox can transfer information from one computer to another unless you change its default settings.

Yes, Firefox can sync settings (history, bookmarks, saved passwords, add-ons, etc) between two computers on the same network. It can be useful, but I never knew it was a default setting. (Is it??) This page says you have to set up a sync account to do that.

Well, he stated clearly he hadn't, and that he doesn't have a dog. "I don't own one of these," he said, pointing at the word DOG on the paper.

He also did a before-and-after check on the sites with advertising, showing that dog toys only showed up after he'd talked about them for a couple of minutes out loud. And they showed up immediately. :facepalm:

[Sunny]

Dear Bill, you may be right that it is not a default for Firefox. I did have Firefox saving my passwords and they transferred to the new computer. I did not consciously set up a sync account between the two computers -- my bookmarks did not go from one computer to the other -- my add-ons did not go over either -- but maybe when I was setting things up, sharing data was somewhere in my settings.

The way I became aware of it is that I got a message from Avast asking, "do you want Firefox to be transferring data to other computers?" and I turned it off.

[snoman]

I just tried to experiment using the same technique as the guy in the presentation,
it didn't work for me,

[ZenBaller]

For what it's worth, I was online on my cellphone yesterday, just browsing on facebook. I was hungry so I repeatedly said to my gf who was sitting near me that I wanted a burger. Minutes after using the word "burger" multiple times, I got a sponsored ad in my newsfeed about a "burger house" joint. Now this is weird not only because of its synchronicity, but because I never google about food, especially junk food (I'm vegan). Today, I find this thread and everything makes more sense.

From some of the comments others have made here, it might depend on which browser you are using (he's using Google Chrome in the video), what the settings are, and maybe some other variables we are missing. He's also logged into his Google account.

[snoman]

I was alluding to the video being an ad for Fark,
Smile .

[Flash]

many times my phone would be on the table for example, and I say or someone else says a word, and my phone wake up and the voice helper (the one who talks to you asking what you want) gives me some data from the conversation. It even happened that the radio was on and the phone gave me info about one word on the radio.

I think there is preprogrammed words easily recognized by the system to trigger search. I do think sometimes it is just that.

Turning the voice recognition might sometimes do the trick.

I just tried to experiment using the same technique as the guy in the presentation,
it didn't work for me

From some of the comments others have made here, it might depend on which browser you are using (he's using Google Chrome in the video), what the settings are, and maybe some other variables we are missing. He's also logged into his Google account.

Yes. It no different then speech-to-text in a browser search engine, I believe.

Every so often I research a product for a friend and in a particular case I was looking up 3D printers. After that, I had adds up the yin yang for 3d printers that included YouTube video ads. It's been like 5-6 months ago and they still pop up semi-regularly. Good thing I wasn't looking up 'sex toys' for someone. lol

I believe there are entities that want us dependent on computers so that it forces people to take the 'bad' with the 'good'. If this whole thing started out with the 'bad' of computers, first, would so many of us signed up for it?

The experience of life certainly has its conundrums.....

My apologies if wrong place to place my post. I feel this goes along with this thread somehow.

I wanted to add that a few months back I researched Scientology and started watching alot of youtube videos, as well.
All of the sudden I have been receiving magazines from Scientology. Nice expensive printing and plastic wrapped. I did not put in any personal information to any sites other than what is already on a basic YT account. I have no idea how they have my personal address or what prompted the mailings.

My best guess is that because they have **** loads of money and resources, they might be able to find out who is behind an IP-address. That's kind of scary actually!

Well, they have PIs (Private Investigators), with all their databases, working for them full-time. They can find out anything about anyone, if they want to.

One thing not mentioned here is the absolutely enormous amount of computing power it takes to monitor audio chat and our every word on a global basis. Think about that for a second. 4 billion users, 500 million online at any given time. We are talking D-Wave quantum computing that can process billions of time faster than conventional computers. I know Google has one of those and I'm sure Facebook does too. Now let's take into account that the Deep State has at least one as well. Imagine the kinds of mass social data metrics they can process to identify likely outcomes. Our only saving grace is that the old world Deep State psychopaths are not really computer saavy. But at the same time, they have paid lackeys to do that for them.

Well, that's what Google is best at, if not world champion: a highly sophisticated SEARCH ENGINE... so that "they" have spiders/bots/crawlers roaming the WWW 24/7/365.

Of course, the latest sophistications have to do with NOT finding what one is looking for... when it's listed somewhere beyond the 1000th page of listed item.

I told my wife (and others) about the test that was conducted as reported on this thread in the OP. She tends to believe me as she knows I'm not given to hysteria, or hyperbole or exaggeration. I told her about this thread about 4 days ago.

Today she called me at work and said "See, I do listen to you." I did not know at first what she was talking about.

She then related to me that today she was talking to a friend, who operates a homeopathic wellness clinic, about the injury my wife's daughter, my stepdaughter, suffered a week ago in a car accident. (Her left ankle was "shattered".) In the course of that conversation, the friend suggested that my wife get CBD oil for her daughter. They talked about CBD oil a bit. My wife had never, ever looked for or purchased CBD oil before, ever.

About 20 minutes after my wife concluded the phone call, which was on her cell phone, she received an email from a company called High Tech CBD. The email requested that she confirm her order for CBD oil. She had not placed any such order. She had only a brief discussion on her cellphone, only a part of which discussed CBD oil. The phone service provider is Verizon.

Just thought I'd share this.

So what? How can one hide from anything nowadays!. Even if your mobile is switched off these guys can know where you are.

[A Voice from the Mountains]

If you actually have anything that sensitive that you want to keep from being monitored, meet in person, away from any electronics, preferably out in the woods or something, camping, or around something loud like a creek/rapids/waterfall that also drowns out the conversation even if someone were able to listen in out there. Completely inconvenient and not feasible for daily communication but still an option.

We know that the computer puts out THOUGHTS AND IF YOU ARE NEAR ENOUGH TO THE SCREEN YOU MAY WITNESS THEM IMPLANTED IN YOUR MIND because they are not your thoughts. How about trying to send them some thoughts about advertising and see what happens.

So what? How can one hide from anything nowadays!. Even if your mobile is switched off these guys can know where you are.

For what it's worth, years ago I had a software engineer friend that I used to work with who was wanting to work for a very large and well known defense contractor company. After he applied for a software position with this company he asked me if I'd be willing to talk with some government security agents who were checking his background. I said no problem and a few days later when they arrived where I was working I truthfully answered all their questions. He eventually got the job and has been working for this corporation ever since (as far as I know).

One day we met at a local pub for some drinks after work as we hadn't seen each other in a long time and wanted to do some catching up. We always had a great time and conversations when we got together and this time was no exception. He knew I was not trusting of the government and that I read a lot about UFOs and various "conspiracy theories" so he wasn't surprised when I asked him what he knew about government surveillance capabilities. At first he was reluctant to say anything (because of his security clearance), but upon further prodding he pointed toward the ceiling and said in a hushed voice “you would be amazed at what we (the government) are capable of.” Since that was as far as he would go, I don't know if he meant there was listening technology in lighting fixtures or if he meant satellite technology or something else altogether, but he left little doubt in my mind that the things he worked on was far and away beyond anything the public was aware of.

Interestingly, it wasn't long after that that he apparently dropped off the face of the earth. None of my contact information for him was valid any longer and we have not been in contact since. I have no idea if he moved or got in trouble for saying anything or if he was told not to have any further contact with with me. And that really sucks. I want to know if he's ok and what happened. Even though we didn't see each other very often, we were still good friends and always had a great time when we got together.

Greetings All,
Amor, your post recalls to my mind the story published in the French Newspaper (Le Monde , I think... ) about three college girls in Paris, who made a pact to jump from their respective upper floor homes simultaneously... ( No reasons given ) One pulled -back last minute, one Dead, one Parapaligic (sp ! )..

I for one NEVER think young ppl are this stupid - what other explanation than V2K ? I believe the German train company DeutscheBahn, use a similar method to " put vocal advertisments " into commuters heads...

Please NEVER accept that these young ones are " crazy "......

I disabled the mic on my phone shortly after I bought it, and continue to get what appear to be targeted ads. I was talking about taking a trip to Iowa and the next time I went online, there was a “Visit Iowa” ad. I see even more of this on our Samsung TV. When I checked the settings, the camera and mic feature were turned off. A family member purchased a back brace and we talked about the brace, how much it had cost, etc., and the very next day, we saw two back to back commercials for similar back braces. More alarming, I think they may be watching. Someone used an electric shiatsu type back massager and we starting seeing ads for similar ones. Yesterday, planning another trip, we were talking about buying sunscreen. I’m kind of fair skinned and said “I’ll start out with a 35 SPF.” This morning, bright and early I saw a new ad for a Neutrogena 100 SPF sunblock. Paranoid? I don’t think so. I absolutely believe they’re overriding the settings.

Did it ever occur to anyone that Google uses YOUR CPU and ram aka virtual network machine and thus they do not need the computational power because theyre already using it via the CPUs of almost all Machines theyre installed on:

Even when you open task manager on any Windows systems chrome.exe is using excess amounts of ram and CPU: All this for a browser?
Remember; if something is online then its networked and that network does not have any requirements to be moral or ethic: Especially when you have given it permissions time and time again:

[Carmody]

I always manually turn the data ability for the phone, on and off. 'On swipe' when I need to use the net, 'off swipe' immediately after using it. Sometimes I'll power down the phone completely. and then put it away where the microphone is at least muffled.

I don't live on my phone, no one should, IMO.

[Anti Democide]

If you watch the `experiment` once more; you will conclude that its not valid in a conclusion that Google used his voice: It does however show his bias towards expecting an end result and getting one:

The Op in said video opens the `random` tabs [by no means are they random] sees an ad related to what he wrote/spoke of and then effectively influences the other tabs by directly clicking on the ad instead of merely noting its presence and not clicking it:

What I mean is; by the Op clicking the animal toy ad; he may have instructed other participating `white spaces` of smaller sub codes available to become potential openers for ad placements; which seems to be the case as the animal toy ads are identical:

A web-page in todays brower actually fill their purposes where ads are auto generated; but only appear once the user observes them or opens the full page for a second or more: Even while scrolling; ads are auto generated; sort of `on the fly` if you will:

Out of many variables; this process lowers the need for high bandwidth and the computational process itself: The early web was so slow due to such variables where most web pages were static due to their content being pre-programmed: The result was a lot of unnecessary lag and `buffering`:

The same principles are also applied in the gaming industry to enhance the overall experience with a lower need for computation; bandwidth and storage; where a frame or set of frames [in this case - GFX or Graphics] are resolved when required; and this is done only when the user self generates them by observational instructions:

NOTE: I am not rubbishing the claims herein of voice to text ads; but merely saying this `experiment` is not a good conclusion: However it does express itself as an example on how the next one can be improved upon; because despite how things seem; coincidence does not appear to limit itself to current human understanding: Just my thoughts on this:

[Angels1981]

I went into stores and I just found out that they secretly keep the location on my phone. I have now turned off absolutely anything I can find. I booked a holiday and now all they do is showcase flights to my destination on my phone.
But I for Put stickers over my microphones and I got a bug detector and trialed it out. I found that my radiators are apparently bugged by something too.

Thirdly, I wonder that even when you leave things at home on the laptop for example why would it update your computer when it's possible they are updating your private usage for others at head quarters xyz to see what you been up to on it.

[Angels1981]

I had my mobile/cell phone left at home and I went shopping right. As soon as I got home, there was comments popup stating what shops I had been too and asking if I had a good time aka how would you rate it. No kidding. I was like You are kidding me. I only brought my debit card with me and used that. I was like OMG. I went as some of you know to YVR and when I came back the phone was providing me advertisements for yvr flights and comments reviews about your visit to YVR airport.

I want to get a basic phone next contract and I don't even put the tv on no more. I prefer the silence in a way. BUT I'm still fighting with voices in the head and I need to wake up more. Peace.

Oh I also went on twitter putting CIA stuff about Targeted individuals etc and now they trashed my inbox never in over ten years has it happened to me. I'm not mithered I'll continue.

I noticed that mic appear a while back. I'm not suprised at all they are live tracking audio. This is mainly about entrainment. Getting us to shrug, say meh, and eventually accept a soft surveillance state.

Can you use Javascript to disable the internal browser mic + cam? I'm building a site now and am interested in browser security, specifically what surveillance cameras you can switch off using JS:

https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Web_Audio_API

The really paranoid part of me thinks they might be able to override any settings set by Javascript in the browser. But remember... ***we agreed to the Google Terms and Conditions.*** None of this was forced on anyone. I speak as someone who has a gmail account. They have to respect our free will, and get our consent. Using Chrome or gmail is consenting to their plan.

Downloading chromium might help. I wonder if live audio tracking still works if you're using chromium.

The mic in the macbook is in the sound settings in systm preferences.. Not the keyboard area.. Go to input. If you cannot find it, try your bluetooth connections tab as those also attach to sound for bluetooth speaker systems and such and you can change your settings from there. You never know what ha an actual mic in it, so always look to bluetooth as well.. It may be pairing something that has both a speaker AND a micrphone.

Holy cow! I'd call that a "WTF moment" alright.

Well for what it's worth, I see this as a good sign. I'm glad you're "not mithered", and thanks for teaching me a new word :) When I experience this kind of thing, I say to myself: "Don't mind that", and laugh about it. I mean, it's really quite ridiculous and hard not to laugh.

Personally, I don't mind "being watched", but I do mind being recorded! It's getting to the point now though, I cannot avoid being recorded - there's cameras everywhere. Even the TV is listening to us, my friend exclaimed at his TV "How the F do I get out of this?" and it brought up a help menu for him immediately. He didn't even realize the TV was reacting to him at first!

The TV's that can recognize you are creepy too. Like it knows who's watching by your face. Creepy.

My daughter and three of her friends tested this idea several times. Same result. As strange as it seems, they all seemed to notice that ads and links popped up for things they were only THINKING about. My girl told me that when they were doing this little trial she thought to herself that she needed to stop on the way home and buy floss. Within 4 hours she got an Amazon ad for floss on sale. She mentioned that to her friends days later and they all screamed that they'd had the same experience. Dear God, is this really possible?

[Iloveyou]

Could you tell, please, was the phone on when she thought about buying floss, off, in her pocket, in the same room? I had similar experiences but haven‘t dared to take them seriously by now.

Sounds like what people call "reality creation", and I think it is possible - but that also implies that we're living in some kind of weird hologram... (at least to me, and maybe only some of us)

My friend had me try an experiment thinking of an "unlikely object" and I chose a white cat, because I'm sick of seeing black ones. Within a few days, I saw two white cats - one on TV show "Modern Family", and another one belonged to an old friend who I hadn't seen in a while. I've mentioned it before and someone on PA tried this, and then messaged me to tell me it worked for them also. Personally I found it kind of creepy, especially with not one white cat, but two!

If anyone's going to try this experiment, try not to be alarmed if it works :P

The "real" white cat belonged to a person I betrayed once (edit: they forgave me), so I felt it was a "good sign"

The TV white cat which I saw first happened extremely fast and was incredibly creepy.

[amor]

The internet not only listens to what you say and then provides you with the appropriate ad, but it can read your mind, as well as place thoughts in your mind. It is too late at night for me to go into the logic trail on the technology of doing this, but in the 1950's, they published in Popular Mechanics a small ad about a scientific experiment related to thought reading. From this tiny ad, there was enough information for me to extrapolate the possibility of reading thoughts as well as putting thoughts in your brain using the television or computer screen. I believe the trick was that no matter what language you spoke, the same electrical register was associated with the same picture. From this collation of pictures and signals, they established thought communication.

I have had my thoughts read by a television 12 ft. away from me, ads sent to me quickly by computer screen, and most insidious have been aware of thoughts (which were not my own) placed in my head when I was very close to the screen. On more than one occasion, recently, I have been aware of the printed word crossing my consciousness and field of vision, in my head and actually SEEING the typeface, while working on other things on the computer. This machine was invented to MIND CONTROL. Selling products was just an afterthought by DARPA.

[Sue (Ayt)]

I realize that many of my dreams at night are of reading screens. The information from them usually fleets rapidly when I wake up, although sometimes it feels like it was quite important info.

I used to read books in my dreams, sometimes feeling like I was flipping through pages and pages all night long, but now it is generally screens.

Does anybody else read at night in their sleep?
