Google did not admit wrongdoing in the settlement of the class-action case, which accused the firm of “unlawful and intentional interception and recording of individuals’ confidential communications without their consent and subsequent unauthorized disclosure of those communications to third parties.”
I was recently sitting with a bunch of workers in a welding shop where I was having some work done, and we were discussing a particular piece of unusual equipment with a very unusual variation. In other words, not something that would normally come up in a normal conversation.
One of the guys gets a notification, looks at his phone, and there is an ad for this weird piece of equipment that I’d never even heard of before. He gasped, and held his phone up for the rest to see. Apparently, this had happened before, and they’d all been discussing it. Now it happened again.
They’re spying on us every minute. I saw the proof that day.
