The day I saw my own face on a stranger's targeted ad feed

I was showing a client their ad dashboard and a video for a political group I'd only talked about in a private chat popped up... on their screen. My phone's mic must have been listening, and it linked my voice to their profile. Felt like a huge breach, but I was the one who okayed all those app permissions. Has anyone else had a moment where their own data habits came back to haunt someone else?

Yeah, read an article about how those voice assistant devices can pick up conversations through walls. Creepy stuff.

That "breach" feeling is so real, and it's awful it spread to your client.

Ever check what your apps can actually hear?
