    Update: Twitter ads rep investigated and reports this ad was displayed because of an Apple-GrubHub promotional campaign and didn't make use of offline activity.https://twitter.com/TimSweeneyEpic/status/1225570229599772673 …

    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.

        It’s selection bias. 99% of the time ads are unrelated to your offline activity, and go unnoticed. When, by accident, the ad matches something you just talked about, you notice

        This incident was selection bias! And to infer from this incident's benign explanation that the whole digital ads industry doesn't misappropriate and misuse personal data on a vast scale is also selection bias.

        The user profile generated about you has enough data points to predict things you’ll run across in meatspace. What often feels like snooping in one data space is probabilistic projection from the general snooping of your whole digital footprint.

        But now that you've posted online about Apple and Grubhub you're going to get a flood of digital ads and snailmail at home about it!
