Just read most of the comments here and I feel nauseous about this.
My job encourages instagram use.
I think the only way around having our devices spy on our spoken face to face conversations is to have a mobile device with a removable battery. Who remembers the HTC EVO and all the phones like those? Anyone know of a good phone that offers the removable battery?
I only know about Fairphone and Teracube. Having owned a Teracube I recommend not getting a Teracube
Please tell me about your experience with Teracube.
Hardware specs were too constrained for regular daily use. The software updates are always way behind schedule, and the company is too small to support their warranty (I really do think they're doing their best to do what's right, but they're just super slow on turnaround for support)
It happens to me as well, in my instances it's most likely the social network they tied me to. Some friends of mine are heavy Instagram users and whenever I hang out with them I get almost real time relevant ads on my isolated Instagram.
Probably because your friends search about it when they are not having things separated and based on the social graph that IG thinks you're interested in it too?
Plus if you were in the same location they probably lean harder on the things that overlap. They have so much data about you that this is easy for them to do.
None of my matrix friends are on Instagram and vice versa
That can be your friends' friend/family doing the search. The social graph is never being 1 degree only.
If you want to be extra safe I guess the best way would be to use the web version of Instagram with ublock origin installed. If you can find a way to use Firefox containers on Android as well it could really restrict what they can access.
