It gets even worse than that.  Lately I have been noticing that things I talk about verbally on the phone will show up in my ads.  And I don't mean services like Google Voice, I mean a conversation on any android or iPhone.  It is sad, but there's really no reversing it.  The vast majority of Americans are strongly in favor of trading privacy for "security" and free services.  The "right to privacy" folks have now become a minority and are being marginalized as crackpots who are anti-democracy and pro-terrorism.  When the NSA story broke there was outrage from foreign leaders, and not so much as a whimper from US citizens.  
   
 On a funny note, if there is one...  What does it mean when I am at work, and all my banner ads are suddenly about fire extinguishers and temporary housing?
