Fair enough. But as I mentioned, my experience is the opposite. I've never spoken about things like privacy concerns aloud (to myself or others). Mobileread is the only place a topic like that even comes up in my daily life. Yet my feed is polluted with articles about it.
I'm going to take some time to come up with a topic that I can (hopefully) "control" around my devices to see what happens. Sounds like fun (if ultimately pointless--for me anyway) experiment.

A friend and I were sitting at a bar, iPhones in pockets, discussing our recent trips in Japan and how we’d like to go back. The very next day, we both received pop-up ads on Facebook about cheap return flights to Tokyo.

Isn't it equally likely they both made posts on Facebook about being back from Japan on the day in question? Or checked in using their phones when they left for Japan?
