Are Social Media Companies Using Your Phone To Spy On You?
Many people believe social media companies are spying on our conversations and targeting ads based on what we say out loud. But is it really happening? A British security company is trying to get to the bottom of it.
Yvette Shapiro was recently on a family vacation in Virginia.
"I said to my husband, our phone is listening to us," she said.
They were discussing how comfortable their mattress was. Shapiro said soon after, ads for mattresses appeared on her Facebook feed.
"I find that a little invasive, a bit creepy and certainly unwelcome," she said.
Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg shot down the suggestion when he testified before Congress last year.
During the hearing, Sen. Gary Peters, a Democrat from Michigan, asked Zuckerberg, "Yes or no, does Facebook use audio obtained from mobile devices to enrich personal information about its users?"
"No," Zuckerberg replied.
To find out who's right, a security company in London put some phones to the test.
"We don't believe that they are spying," said Eldar Tuvey, the CEO of Wandera.
