Recently I was reading online that big players such as Google and Facebook are tracking our every single move on the internet.Since these big companies are so popular and everyone uses their services, It can be very easy for these companies to track us.I was just wondering how do they do it? So I thought why not try to find the hidden filthy things they are trying to hide.I picked one of these companies services.In this case, I chose youtube because it is harder to find the relevant video content to pop in your video feed.
WARNING: THESE ARE THE SCREENSHOTS FROM MY PHONE AND I HAVE PERSONALLY EXPERIENCED THIS.
It may seem normal to some people but just think that anything you do online is getting recorded and the data is sold to advertisers bit by bit to match you with relevant advertising content.It is somewhat good because you automatically start seeing the ads that you’ve searched before but you are still being tracked.YOU ARE NOT ANONYMOUS NOT EVEN IN THE INCOGNITO MODE IT JUST CLEARS HISTORY ;-P .
Let’s take a look at my findings!
Some guy in my WhatsApp just uploaded a story of this video it was just 30 seconds long and now it is on my youtube recommended section!!
A friend of my dad sent this video to him on WhatsApp, Since we were on the same wifi network that day this is now in my recommended!
My brother was watching this video ON HIS PHONE!! (ps:we were traveling together).
Another brother of mine who studies in RGEC Nagrota came to my house to spend some days together.He left after 2 days and after a day or two this video with my literally no links with that college.
This song is in my phone!
This one really blew my mind.Cryptocurrencies are talk of the town these days.I was searching how these work and how to trade them.Notice how the title and graphics on the t-shirt do not relate to each other but still, it came in my recommended section.Why? Because “Coinbase” is a cryptocurrency exchange and “TO THE MOON” is a term used by cryptocurrency traders.TF Google!! You can read from a T-shirt!!
I was laughing at this one because this time I was not searching for whales! Whales are the guys which have lots and lots of money and crypto assets.GOTCHA GOOGLE!
Look at the marked areas lol.
My phone was not charging properly because I was somewhere else and forgot the charger at home so I took a charger from a guy.It was not working properly and I was plugging it in and out to get better voltage to charge my phone fast. (PS: I was using an app to determine amperage.)
I know this is going to raise some eyebrows but, I was thinking of going to denmark.
WTF IT JUST READ MY MIND!
You may want to switch google with DuckDuckGo now!!
