Some medication I’m on causes things to, um, shall we say, get a little backed up. So I was thinking yesterday – THINKING – that I need to get some Movicol. I didn’t verbally express this. I didn’t search for it online. When I went to the supermarket I didn’t go anywhere near the aisle Movicol lives in (because my ADHD brain forgot about it).
This morning Instagram showed me an ad for Movicol.
After a hearty “WTF”, my next thought was, “maybe my phone heard me on the toilet yesterday?”. I don’t think I was grunting or swearing or anything. I wasn’t giving birth to a shit demon.
Still, if Meta did determine via my phone’s microphone that I was backed up, why did it give me an ad for the specific brand of laxative that I was thinking of yesterday. Why not another brand?
HOW DID IT KNOW?
Scary stuff. Privacy in the modern age does not exist.
