Well, maybe it’s just another case of seeing on the road dozens of the car you just bought, when you had never noticed them before.

Did he have something like ‘Alexa’ or a security system he could access on his phone?

Or do you really think ‘They’ are listening to all of our conversations over our phones?

Oh my gosh.

It's software. Tracking software. Voice conversion to text. Which is then keyword-scanned. OLD technology.

I put a basic tracking code in the emails πŸ“¨ people got for the company I worked for.

Very basic tracking software.

I put it in a single white pixel on your screen inside a million pixels.

All of that code in a while dot you can't discern because you'll think you only see a blank white background.

It was in every email πŸ“¨ receipt we sent once I embedded it. Now it was only a basic tracking. I did that work 15 years ago.

I wondered too if it wasn’t the “new car” syndrome. No idea if he had an Alexa thing on his phone. Although years after he had talked about it there was that case(s) where people that shared previous internet meetings or something got the recordings of others having private conversations in their living rooms due to a software problem.

However, I do just assume that “they” can listen in or perhaps even watch. (Yes - I do have my computer cameras covered! It would be a boring show, but...)

There is a pdf document called “If Wheels could talk...” by Nicolle Mo, New York University School of Law thesis. I just found it and skimmed it remembering a case where a car’s black box was gone through for evidence.

It seems that a warrant is not always needed when it comes to a vehicle. The first case she mentions is where a car with On Star (whose subscription had expired but was still on) got an emergency call (by accident) and the operator that got the call could tell that it was a drug deal going down, and told the police that were on the way to the “emergency” about it and they arrested the people.
