    I have just gotten *two* separate ads on Facebook for dresses WITH POCKETS and one ad for aid to Yemen's starving civilians 😢. I am ready to join the "Facebook is listening to you through your phone" caravan. (FWIW, I constantly get asked this and I don't think it is, but...)

        I had an ad to leggings with pockets not large enough to fit the phone used in the ad. I talk about this problem a lot. Does FB think I want them???https://twitter.com/sheydaipek/status/1050946401234898944 …

        I think this is a good starting point in regards to facebook and listening. https://medium.com/@damln/instagram-is-listening-to-you-97e8f2c53023 … Also, maybe they just assume women want pockets, like any sane human would.

        All advertising apps are if you let them. FWIW I have all phone app permissions turned off and I still got targeted ads just after a specific conversation with my wife last week. Is it the TV? 🤷🏻‍♂️

        I tweet and post about my autism a lot but don’t often discuss it in person. Yesterday I did, and for the first time had autism service ads on Facebook. Just saying...

        Both Twitter and Facebook say they "may" obtain information from third-party providers. And you've certainly said a lot online about Yemen. As @jreidenberg has pointed out, privacy policies are written very broadly; people don't really know what sites do.pic.twitter.com/c7yjibhMzD
