So, many of us trust the modern social media about zero. Just wanted to share this.
My wife has one of my college daughters Facebook and Instagram account on her iPad. (ps: Facebook owns Instagram, a social media website that people share pictures). The iPad connects via wifi to my house router. We just like to see her silliness and stay current with her friends and our families that she follows. She is cool with it.
We all know that these social media sites make their money off selling ads, and presenting them in your face.
What I want to share. I access this RV website, via my PC only, and is plugged into my router via via Ethernet cable. Well, lately, I have been searching for a new pair of sneakers, New Balance, kinda bland, old man shoe, black., etc on a website called Zappos (great place).
What is CREEPY, is, that an ad popped up on my daughters Instagram, for NewBalance, with the exact shoes I was looking at (and mind you nothing like a 21 year old college girl would ever look at)
I am floored, because THE only way that ad could be on her Instagram, is: Instagram / Facebook monitors Everything that goes through my Router, even by wifi, period. I'm not upset per say the shoes are on there, but does Instagram / Facebook watch my online banking, my online Amazon use, my online Brokerage accounts?
Who could I even complain to about this? Surely this is invasion of privacy.
