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.

An important question here is how this ad tech eavesdropping data (which may often be gathered illegally) is laundered back to companies like Twitter and Apple which use the data to guide ads but presumably don't knowingly conspire in the surveillance.

Ooft! Important question indeed. My mic and GPS is disabled so it's interesting how I ended up with ads via Twitter. I haven't yet had a chance to ask my wife if she's noticed the same.
