I think google is spying on us ,when our phones are in the room

Same thing happened to me over and over. And I had never talked about that topic before, so Google didn't get that from my search history or something.
The thing that bothers me is that no one talks about this. I only saw a good show with John Oliver that takled the issue and he interviewed Snowden!

Snowden shows how we have been watched by our laptop cameras and phone camera. But we need a device to be seen. Its not possible that phone is switched off and computer is shut down and we have been observed. A year go all my office colleagues watched the Snowden. And placed a paper patch on their laptops. My Boss showed so much displeasure - but now we have to live with it.

That is not our speech and thought which gives the ad option - maybe it is the text we type in for others. And the google get their recommendation from there.
But I disagree that that google listen to us and then do as they want.

Snowden is good show many people follow him. . and he has changed the perspective of people all together.

But what would an ordinary person profile would do the google who is only searching XOXO and gambling and alcohol

I also don't want to believe in it, but sometimes it just gets crazy how smart google can be!!

That happened and happens to me very often. It sounds like a joke but it's real. We also discussed with friend and we did several "fake" tests which all went positive. We cannot say it is Google or any other app but the signs all point to Google. We flashed old mobiles from scratch and didn't install any other app. No facebook, no tik tok, nothing at all, just stock firmware. We also have lineage and other ROMs flashed. It happened with ALL of them, but only to them shipped with Google app suite. To the phones we installed with custom roms without bloat ware and no Android Google Play store (we used F-Droid instead) this did not happen one single time. So we suspect that Google is the part who is spying.

This is definitely no coincidence or something like that because we tested with many phones and many persons with various settings. Absolutely, someone is spying and we suspect that it is Google.
