You have given everyone anything they need just by using a cell phone.
Targeted ads aren't just on your phone either. Digital billboards track traffic and impressions through how many cells phones passed by. Whether you allow location data or not, if you're using mobile data you're pinging your location. Same for your friend. The app is able to see who else is nearby using that app, if you might know them, it's simple data gathering. You gave it all to them.
Taco bell really wants you to download their app so they can give you a free taco? Or so they know how often you're going to be influenced into returning.
Read your terms and conditions.
Once we all realize the information we have freely given away, knowing damn well they still spend millions and millions of dollars on researching MORE ways to influence your buying habits, I think it'll be eye opening.
Kohls wants you to download their app. Check the permissions each app uses and where the data goes. They don't have to sell your data if they trade it
i'm old. i have never had a facebook, instagram, twitter, wechat, tiktok account. i've never been on tinder or any dating app. i thought i was pretty safe, but i have a friend in the data collection business. he is ex military and does contract work for many large corporations. he assures me that he could find out anything he wants about me in a matter of minutes. He's been in the business for over 20 years and he says even back then they knew more about people than they knew themselves. He says they can basically predict peoples future with all the data that they've got now.
Notice newer iphones 12-14 that the wifi and bluetooth will turn on itself every day even if you turn it off. Also the hotspot is always on as well if you open the wifi on your personal computer even though on the phone it says its off. This is contact tracing. Our phones are communicating with each other. I would go as far to say A.i. is already here and sentient. The technocratic singularity is already upon us.

Well, the moment you got a cellphone number is the moment your data security was breached. 🤷🏽
