My previous employer - a multi-billion dollar internet search company would secretly listen to people’s conversation via their mobile devices then place ads on the same devices (e.g in the browser search results or at the start of videos) based on keywords from the conversations, this had to be kept hidden of course and this large well-known company shall remain nameless.
Can you explain more, because the way this is written I’m not sure how they would do that technically.
Assuming this is Google, I could maybe see it with things like Gmail. Text is easy to scan and ads in things like Youtube videos are dynamic so they could be doing that. Same with something like Microsoft and Outlook.com.
But listening to actual conversations (as in phone calls) at a large scale and then using that to put dynamic ads in videos or search results seems impossible to do at scale.

I can’t explain more because I just made the whole thing up. That’s right, I told a lie on the internet
Can I Google their name?
Does it rhyme with “Frugal”
It could also rhyme with Blamazon
It could also rhyme with ‘my cock soft’
i think calling bing a search engine is an insult to the term search engine.
Depends, if you’re looking for porn it’s quite good. Or so I’ve heard.
Is there something I can do to prevent this from happening? I don’t want to ditch my smartphone and use a fliphone tho
