Me and my room mate recently leased an apartment, I don’t know him from before.We were discussing about getting an assembly service for a tv stand we bought (Ikea).

When I opened amazon I got an ad for tv stand assembly service. Btw I do not have location on for amazon app and also we have Amazon echo in our house (Alexa). I Always doubted Facebook, but does amazon listen to conversations as well.

    Ofcourse they're spying. But your assumption on how that led to you seeing specific ads is incorrect. It is simply not worth the computation to crunch every bit of conversation in near real time from everyone.
    This topic has been oft discussed and explained. Just search.

    They already admitted to listening to all Alexa conversations.

    No they don’t spy..just leave your alexa on your work desk and talk company stuff while on speaker. The light on Alexa is just some internal things they are doing so you shouldn’t worry at all…

  • Did you search on Google while logged in? And used the same email as Amazon username? Amazon probably purchased data from Google to link activity and display ads. Happens all the time with Facebook.

    With Facebook portal it only listens when the portal is on and used for phone calls.
