@dascrow, is TFF watching my searches? (I use Bing, because its the default on PC)

I just searched for a GoPro Hero 6 black frame on eBay. I switched over to TFF and I see the same exact thing I was just looking at, on my screen as an add. (The adds that are always under the "Forums, whats new, members, marketplace, etc.)

Here is what I searched: https://www.ebay.com/i/263894896749...1291&msclkid=707c799bc1df1aebe24527551bc44d03

Some of my other moderators might be able to answer this question. It was just kind of weird to me. Thanks in advance.

Ok, that was helpful. Thank you @dascrow.

Wait until 5G goes on completely. Even a tin foil hat won't help then. This whole internet thing has turned on us like a monster. The only way out is to ditch all your devices and never do anything online ever again. Ever !

replace your smart phone with a dumb flip phone

I have a dumb flip phone. Never have had a smart phone.

You’re smart

You guys do realise that companies and government agencies that spy on us will deny everything, just like the forum is. They aren't going to say "Yes, we are listening to everything you say". They could get busted for that. They just deny, deny, deny, and hope you gullible fools accept that

Same here I have a simple flip phone. A star trek "beam me up scotty" communicator.

 

[PheonixKingZ]

A flip phone? You people need help!

 

[Colin_T]

I don't even have a phone (mobile or landline)

A flip phone? You people need help!

I have a landline and a mobile phone that makes calls and sends texts. I don't need or want any other kind of phone because I am incapable of touching the right spot on the screen. Remenber the thread about the red Latest News flag on the site? I don't see that on my laptop so I used my 10 inch Kindle Fire to see what it looked like on there. It took me two attempts to get the site address right, then three attempts to type in my password. And that's on a 10 inch screen so there's no chance with a phone

maybe you could type on a phone by using a stylus...or a bluetooth keyboard..
