Twists & Turns of COMSEC



Not only do you have to worry about what you say while talking on the phone.

Now you have to worry about what's in the background.

SkyNet (Google) was awarded a patent for being able to use background info, such as temp, humidity, noises, GPS, etc) to target you for ads to your phone.

"A web browser or search engine located at the user's site may obtain information on the environment (e.g., temperature, humidity, light, sound, air composition) from sensors. Advertisers may specify that the ads are shown to users whose environmental conditions meet certain criteria."
 But Google says it will respect everybody's privacy.

All I smell is bullshit.
