## Big data
___

I know they've been watching us, but I always  find it hard to accept that they just might be doing it literally.  I know they are *listening* to us.  Several companies with apps on our smartphones have all but admitted they're  doing it.  Google has kind of said it point blank, that, but are *"anonymising"* the data.  Sure.

The other day, I was wearing my Avengers lounge wear, and looking through Instagram.  From that point of view, the camera would be pointed at my legs.  As if by magic, I saw an Avengers ad come up in my feed, out of the blue.

*"It's a coincidence"*, I thought.  Avengers are popular, and I'd probably liked Avenger related stuff in the past.  Easy coincidence.

But then this.  I'm wearing a pair of tartan patterned loungewear, looking through Instagram in the usual manner and see what came up.  Another coincidence?  I'm starting to doubt it.

***What do you think?  Coincidence or Instagram (FaceBook) is looking through my camera to gather signals for advertising?*** 

Peace & Love,

*Adé*
