I don't know about whether or nor our smartphones are recording us. I usually hate wearing my smartphone in my pockets and I don't keep my smartphone turned on for very long periods of time. You can do an experiment to prove your theory. Talk about something in front of your smartphone and then do a Google search(or Bing search) about the thing you talked about.

It's true that it's likely not wise to "trust" your smartphone but I don't think we can jump into the conclusion that devices are actively listening on us at all times. It is definitely possible but I can see it more likely to be targeted and not used on the masses because of the inherent risks for the party doing it incase it's revealed.

What I personally think is that people underestimate the vast amount of information that can be inferred by what you and your friends/family do online. Just by browsing something, the advertisers can infer another, seemingly unrelated thing about it. That's more likely how these suggestions come to be. You also need to understand that it's not just your personal activity online. If someone you know has let a social media platform access to their contacts, that means you will be easily connected to that person too.

There's so much information that can be gathered and inferred indirectly without the need for spying directly. The problem is that a lot of the "spying" is perfectly legal.

Today's internet exchanges are closely examined. This is advanced behavioral prediction, not observation. Companies are monitoring not only what we do but also why and what we might do next. Despite our online activity being deciphered, Bitcoin stands out. It signals a move toward private, controlled finance. Bitcoin challenges online transparency. It provides some privacy in a world when our every move is tracked and analyzed

Consider the legality and ethics of this'spying.' A complex web of legal and moral issues. However, Bitcoin triumphs here again. It represents a growing financial privacy and autonomy movement, not merely a digital asset. Bitcoin is a beacon of financial self-determination in a data-driven world. Not just its value, but the values it embodies. In this age of digital scrutiny, Bitcoin is more than a financial option

Hmm lets just separate this kind of topic about on trying out to correlate Bitcoins privacy thing considering that we are really that trying out to make talks or explains about those companies are really that
trying to hear off on what are the words that we are basically be discussing on the sense that they did really come into a point that even on just talking beside with your phone with other people
does automatically giving out suggestions basing up on what you had discussed. When it comes to privacy then it do really crosses out that line because it does really remove out that real essence
of privacy.

It do really just turns out that they are really that desperate on trying to hook up buyers or clients basing up on what they are looking for. They do really need to reach out
into that kind of certain extent for the sake of profits or revenue on which this is something not ethical to be done anymore. If this one had been proved out then
people would be making out those discussions and casual talking which they might be turning off their phones. Grin
