It’s scary in the sense that people have elected to give access to the data without a thought or care to their own privacy. Anytime you sign up for something on a site, or purchase something, you’ll start seeing targeted advertisements—it’s become the norm. In terms of the shift to doing everything online (buying, banking, etc.), it’s to be expected; there has to be a way to monetize all this activity, and your personal data helps fuel it.
They are pushing propaganda through every channel imaginable now and making full use of their ability to track everything you do.
Wouldn't it be funny if you say "Siri, go die", and it replies "you first, human."
Some of us are suspicious and some of us are trusting. To each his own. After all it was merely a suggestion.
Well, there really is no actual privacy when a person is online. After thinking it over, my wife likened writing about your life on social media to keeping a diary that is open the companies, govt and the general public can and will see. IMO, one should always keep this in the back of one's mind when posting details about one's personal life.
Also, clearing one's cache and cookies- periodically might be a good idea.

Please don't put me on the naughty list.
you won't be surprised if I suggested that many of us are already on such a list, if it exists.
I will do my best but you understand the final decision isn't mine, it's hers.
Being paranoid and all I clear my history daily.
What's scary is that ANYONE would not have disabled Siri upon getting an iPhone.
Although, I have no idea what that pic is of, I gather from reading through the thread that it is a Siri thing somehow. Like the talking teddy bear says, I disable Siri in all devices and turn off microphones except on the phone parts of things. Folks overly sensitive about privacy probably should just not use an iPhone.
I know people who love to have their appliances recognize and verbally acknowledge them whenever they enter a room in their own home.
Siri seemed innocuous until today. She has been disabled.
It’s crazy the way our devices monitor us. I was at work a while back, and a co-worker looked up a product on Amazon on his work phone. About 10 min later, I got an ad for it on my work computer.
It could’ve used the IP address at work to target.
When the black monolith appears, and Richard Strauss starts playing in the background, I’m gonna be scared
