SPY-PHONE Samsungs peeping Tom smartphones can listen and watch what you do on the web while monitoring your emails to target you with ads
The Sun can exclusively reveal that many Brits have no idea they've allowed Korean manufacturer Samsung to monitor them through their smartphone
SAMSUNG phones use technology which can spy on what youre reading and watching online and monitor emails in your inbox.
The phones switch onto spy mode after they are alerted by a beacon often embedded in web pages or sent as an ultrasonic signal hidden in telly or online adverts.

The airbag in my car has informed me it has turned itself off on the dash. I have not responded to a recall. My car is not “connected” to any support services. The dealer told me they can turn anything they want on and off. Think about that.

For a few years I’ve heard that technology can identify exactly where a document was printed. Last week Rush went into detail about how embedded codes, via microscopic yellow dots, provide the printer’s serial number and other information. There are a couple of programs that analyze the information.
We may see a surge in IBM Selectrics in the near future.

I might dig out that portable that I bought at an estate sale last year.
It looks like nearly new and the keys worked.

They apparently have had it for some time now. I’m still using a Galaxy S-4. I’ve recently looked into bone broth to augment nutrition. Now I have bone broth ads popping up constantly on my phone. Time to change phone brands.

I have a galaxy s4 also. I have noticed on 2 occasions that an item I have talked about ( but not searched for whatsoever) has ended up on my feed as for sale on facebook.

A few months ago a FReeper posted that he and his brother were sitting in his office having a conversation discussing a certain subject. Subject never had been researched online. About 15 minutes later, he was seeing pop-up ads for that exact item.

More tracking tech - ANDROID PING!
Android Ping!
If you want on or off the Android Ping List, Freepmail me.
My take on it: I'm not a fan of cookies and tracking technologies like this. Really Samsung? I dropped my S7 and cracked it (yes, I know I should have had a case on it) and now the volume buttons are not working. I was considering just upgrading early and picking up an S8. However, this kind of BS will make me seriously consider other alternatives. Although I'd bet you good money Apple and Google can (and do) collect similar information. Bottom line: anything you do on a smartphone is probably not private at all.

When I was a kid we were on a party line. If you picked up the phone and your neighbor was talking you could hear it. That was just 5 or 6 neighbors. Now we are on a party line with the entire government apparatus of at a minimum of our country and who knows how vast it is in the business and NGO world. The only difference now you can’t listen to them back and they aren’t polite enough to hang up when the phone is in use like your neighbors were.
