The whole idea that Facebook is secretly listening to all speech near any smart phone on earth and using it to map ads is a really fascinating meme.

Still not convinced. Smart speakers have a hard time understanding when you talk directly to them, not sure how FB app could do a better job while listening without context They’ve so many data points we tend to forget.. Have you checked your off-FB data?https://www.facebook.com/off-facebook-activity …
They don’t need to understand and then serve a reasonable response. They just need to identify a noun. “Siri, what channel is Nbatv on direct tv?” And “Siri, does direct tv work on cloudy days” are hard to answer but not hard for Algos to determine what ads to show.

What’s the best way for me to see my off fab data? I’m on my phone now. Thanks!

Sorry it's not available yet but on the page they mention the issue "Why do ads feel like they are directed to you, personally?" I really think they dont have much to gain from listening when they have your browsing data via the like buttons, fb, whatsapp, IG, audience partners
