Yikes, the creepy online ads that follow your offline real world activities finally caught up to me after successfully evading this for 5 years. It appears to be a Bluetooth information leak exploited by the Twitter app to display an Apple App Store ad.

My only fall back guess would be if you hit the restaurant WiFi and Twitter looked up that known IP location server side. Otherwise goes beyond my knowledge of these data flows and ad services.

WiFi was disabled. Signal continuity implies there wasn’t a cellular base station on premises, and the nearest tower was over 1 mile away in the rain. So though I don’t trust AT&T, I don’t think they could have triangulated me to a small restaurant next to a big grocery store.

Have you turned off all of your microphones, too? I thought the Diane Sawyer special last year, Screen Time, to be very helpful.
