Since 9/11 all telephone calls are monitored for "key words" that trip a recording for tracing.. I suspect there is something like that for texts and on line... We live in 1984 .. Alexa listens to everyword said in your house, your phone she also listens to your conversations and it does not even need to be turned on.. My daughter and granddaughter had a "private" conversation about female products.. with in a short time they got email ads for them .. If you want a truely private conversation you need to leave all electronics in your home and go into your yard..I dont even think that is "safe"
I was telling a friend this and her reply was way too typical.. "well I am not doing anything illegal so I dont care" ..The sheeple don t get it folks..
