Thoughty2 I already have Nordvpn. Thank you for the information.
Thoughty2 do u ever reply to comments
I wonder why the quality of your research content keeps dropping over time. Your vids aren't as interesting as they used to be. And FYI there's no such thing as VPN without logs (logs are needed by default but sure they can be deleted). I'm sure NordVPN will cooperate with law enforcement once asked, as they all do. Lastly what's sketchier is their Windows Setup Client cant even pass Virus Total. So be sure to use OpenVPN client.
Liked the video and that is creepy, but McDonald’s burgers should be called chemburgers chemical + burger
Mmmmm legal soup, and sliced litigation
“If you can describe your life on one piece of paper, you need to turn around a new page.” Actually is quite a good quote to be fair.
When I moved into an apartment on the Jersey Shore, Facebook put my landlord on my recommended friends. We had no friends in common, and had only communicated in a craigslist email and in person. Creepy AF
You both have meta data at the same physical address. This is how it made the connection.
My reading teacher has thought me this many times. They store and sell your data. How else would they make BILLIONS of dollars?
And don’t think that this is illegal, because you agreed to it in their terms of service (but let’s be honest who the heck reads the terms of service, but if you DO choose to read it, it will say that “We will track websites you visit”). And ever wonder why they want you to be 13+? Google, Facebook, Snapchat, etc? It’s because that’s the legal age someone can track your information. If you are 12 and want to make a google account, they WANT you to lie about your age. They WANT you to say you’re over 13, they WANT track your information when your actually 12. And they WANT to track you. You can block ad tracking in your settings, but it will slow down your device, as a punishment. You can ad a tracker blocker, but it will keep notifying you every 2 minutes, “Are you sure?” “Are you sure?” “Are you sure?”, as another punishment. It listens to your conversations, it tracks your geographical location, and it tracks what websites you visit.
Be cautious
What about parents and friends posting info? You never agreed to anything if you haven't made a Facebook account.
Well not everyone uses or has ever used Facebook so y is it legal for Facebook to steal data from people who hasn't used it
What are they gonna do with that information? They don't give a frick if you move on florida or your dog died and they sell it to the goverment what are they gonna do with that
@@rocky-zx6kq they are going to give you ads about which Florida beaches to go to and dog adoption ads
@@dando541 if my grandma died are they gonna advertise me a grandma adoption center because I really need someone to bake me cookies?
It's not just Facebook, I do sometimes talk to my GF about buying something and when I open google I start typing and it finishes my sentences about what I'm looking for much before I'm close to typing the object.
@RoninJeremy - First, NEVER USE GOOGLE, Second, use an adblocker
I still have never had a Facebook account.
Dsdcain thing is that you still have a profile
Dsdcain in the video he says Facebook tracks people who don't even have a Facebook account
Jahfar Al-Huseini that's my point
I created an Instagram before I knew it was owned by FB. Dammit
Tiger Dat Exo I have never used Instagram nor will I ever
"If a service is free, you're the product" - Well, watching your vids is free and you just demonstrated your own quote with this sponsorship.
You're selling us to NordVPN.
I really am the product here.
Lol, I was thinking about the exact same thing when he was emphasizing so much about *NordVPN* , it's disgusting. He's getting so much money from ads Patreon and from the sponsor still beg for more money.
No. Because he only makes money if he gets people to sign up. So technically he's selling NordVPN to us
@@mozartips it's not disgusting. We work for money just like he does.
@@user-fm2pm1hd1d yes but why does he try to make people look bad and he himself saint although he does the same thing.
@@mozartips clearly he isnt making himself saint and what he does it completely different. He lets u have a choice to pay for the service or not and he gets a percentage of the people who decides to pay for the service. He gets no money out of those who dont use the services. His revenues from youtube ads are just like any other channel.
They tracked my searches and decided to stop for their own sanity sake
They's a well known saying that i just made up "if a service is free, then you are the product" lmao 😂
And now, two years later, that saying that he "just made up" has become well-known...!
why do I feel like theres so much more sarcasm in this video than usual XD? not that I mind ;3
No need to be a dick. He's right, there is more sarcasm in this video.
にゃあエイリアンMeowAlien i assume he made this video because of the BS with zuckerberg lately
Calm down, buddy. It is still a serious issue, sure. That shouldn't have to dictate how he talks of it.
I love it
I love all the sarcasm
I've been telling my family for years "If you aren't paying for it then you are the product." This goes for Google, Facebook and everything else.
A few years ago I came home and told my wife my I had a problem with me knee. The next day I started getting ads for knee braces. I had not searched for treatments for knee problems. Never before had I received an ad for a knee brace. I suspect Alexa was listening. This was too creepy for me so I disconnected Alexa.
They 100 percent listening to conversations. Me and the misses were talking about Spotify over the phone. She specifically mentioned a 3 month free trial. We finished the conversation and I went onto Instagram and boom, there was a Spotify ad offering a 3 month free trial. I didn't Google search it or anything. Literally just spoke about over the phone. I then deleted all my social media.
*Heyyy 42 here*
I watch your videos because they are long and thorough. No clicking after every 2-3 minutes.
Thoughty 2
Yeah the first time I watched his video I thought he said it's 42 here. Lol
I’m confused, is this a complement?
It's true that Thoughty2 is from 42 as What is the answer of the whole universe is 42 therefore Thoughty2 is a channel that answer your questions.
Sam427 haha....well, his videos are interesting as well, but that's just something that need no mention.
Your videos are great. You don't need clickbait thumbnails.
HoopsAndDinoMan I preach the choir on that
I so agree, these thumbnails are so not necessarily.
I do not agree, his videos are great and a pair of boobs in front makes them even greater
I like this kind of thumbnails and also don't think they are clickbait.
He needs clickbait help...2.5M subs with pretty low view count relatively speaking. His videos are all top notch though, and he uses stock footage very tastefully. He likes boob pics...so do I. I have gotten the Katy Perry/Miley vid in my feed for months...just today realized it was him.
Facebook has been running IRL adverts in places like train stations that say stuff like "FAKE NEWS IS NOT YOUR FRIEND" and it's awful, they're following us on AND offline.
"If you can describe your life with one sheet of paper, then you need to turn a new page" it was actually a very good one, I love that! :)
Well i haven't got a Facebook account. I do live under a rock
Potato They're still keeping tags on you.
According to Arran, they (Facebook) still got access to your data...
I'm coming to join you under that rock. I don't have Facebook either.
I had a facebook account for about half an hour back in the early months of 2014 at the request of a friend. He wanted to be able to connect our Bloons Tower Defense games together so we could do multiplayer and was too busy bitching about not knowing how to log into Game Center on iOS to give me a chance to explain why it was easier. To make it go along faster I just made one and then deleted it later, but I really regret not telling him to log into his account on GC because now I can't say that I've never used Facebook.
is there any more space under the rock? no facebook here
"Stalker of the year award" LMAO!!!🤣 Comcast, Facebook, Google, Government agencies, etc. Everyone tracks you.
"No one actually ever said that"
Umm.. You just did, and I totally agree with that! It's actually a great quote!
Talking with a neighbor, he recommended a single-owner family hardware business. We took out our iPhone from a pocket, put in the first letter and the business popped up. It was creepy.
One time I posted a picture of me in ray-bans on instagram, never mentioned ray-ban at all in the caption or anything, and was scrolling after posting it and saw the first ad for ray-ban I had ever seen on instagram. that was creepy.
Instagram is owned by facebook.
People's Republic of Scotland yeah I know that’s why I think their AI does more than just track facebook posts
What about it? Did this force you to buy more RB glasses?? Oh boy, just use your brains and you will be fine. ...Just like you did. Too much paranoia in all of this for my taste.
This is why I love this channel.
Talking real stuff, no sickening stories....
A bloody legend
Me: *phones friend* oh man I really need weed.
Fb: there are 10 drug dealers within 3 miles.
Me: hol up
Hahaaa LMFAO
Come to Washington, just Google "weed maps" and it will show you all dispensarys, with ratings & hours of operation in your area 😁👍🏽.
Hehe
Hol Up ✋🏼
@@jackiec498 and amrika startet ware on druggs🤪🤣😂👌🏼🤫
Actually facebook doesn't necessarily need to record your voice.
There's a particular technique used also by some samsung smart tv. It consists on a speach recogniser that runs in background.
When a certain word is detected, the program can send a paket to a remote server that cathalogs it and returns a particular tag. That tag is used to trigger a particular ad unit.
For example: you talk about your friend and at a certain point you say the word: "want to + sunglasses + where + best + price". And voila ads on the nearby store where you can find beautyful sunglasses.
The creepy fact is that the hardware power needed to trigger this mechanism is almost null.
Do you wear trousers while filming?
QwertyUploadedThis _ thats actualy a pretty good question
QwertyUploadedThis _ ,we don't have the information to make any non-baseless assumptions
I wouldnt.

I deleted my Facebook account about two mouths ago. And I haven't felt better since.
Gipsy Danger how much time is in a mouth? Is it like how many mouths you've used since deleting Facebook?
Gipsy Danger Facebook own many apps so probably not
you mean facebook merely hidden it from you.
I deleted mine 2 legs ago and haven't felt better since.
I deleted mine 2 ears ago and haven't felt better since.
When you talk about something and then it’s on your feed 5 minutes later, all the proof I need.
They do track you. 9gag ToS asks you to approve access to your sensors, microphone, camera(I think), gyros, GPS and such. Their partners are ad companies. facebook definitely listens in.
I hate when I go to a store and my phone says " You are at Taco Bell, do you want to leave a review?" WTF 👿
Gabbie M , Mine does that to me too.
Just turn off the location tracking when you don't need it
@Gabbie M the best option is to not take your phone with you or to turn your phone off when you enter these shit places. I usually do this so google doesn't fucking bother me. it does get fucking annoying.
Your tone is so serious, making all the jokes so on point. You could make Zuckerberg laugh :)
the strongest type of humor
I stopped using Facebook about 9 plus years ago because not only do they see what stuff you’ve looked up, but they get into your hard drive. I used my laptop to watch dvds. And once I watched Batman the dark knight (it was my own dvd wasn’t watching Netflix or any site, WASN’T even on the INTERNET). The next day when I went on Facebook there was all this advertising for Batman stuff. I ended my Facebook account that week. But they wouldn’t let me completely delete my account. They made me deleted all my friends and clubs etc, but will not let me delete the account, just makes it inactive. It creeped me out.
Love your content and videos, btw.
I am currently on thoughty2 spree. My god I love this guy. So much energy and passion and knowledge and that thing about him. The wink and greet. Subbed for life.
well im pretty sure he has a team of researchers, writers, video editors, ad salesmen, thumbnail/ clickbait artists etc etc. this channel brings in a LOT of revenue. it has patreon *people that give away their money monthly, youtube ads, and sponsored videos. thats making some serious bank. he is just the guy on camera that reads the script. but yeah. its a great channel. not to say he isnt smart. for all we know he could be a genius, or an idiot. who knows?
Hey Thoughty2, when did you become dank? You're memeing the entire vid i love it
Nightmare Fuel you can't make it so serious when you are talking about *Z U C C*
Kreço true
Sayori..
Net Lag i miss sayori tbh..
me too... but tbh i never played since i left her 'hanging' (just saw youtube videos later on)
"Facebookachu, I choose you!"
"Like! Share! Like!"
"Facebookachu, use Immoral Business Practices!"
"Like! Share! Like!"
Thoughty 2 I'm extremely happy you did this. What you have done here is absolutely perfect. I am sending this to every body I know.
I left Facebook for a much better alternative called MeWe. Facebook has been needing to be knocked down a large peg for years now and I've been waiting for the right time to migrate. Now that so many people are sick of them and their clear bias, they're leaving. Those of you on FB, I implore you to join us, please. Thank you thoughty2 for being on the side of free speech. You're doing great work
I haven't used FB in over 3 yrs and honestly I'm much happier not being anywhere near it. Never heard of MeWe, though. Might check it out. Thx
That is not true, I never saw a drug add on facebook.
Conclusion: it doesn't work
it doesn't show edited
Shared this video on facebook
Hubby and I were talking recently about something specific just to open up my phone and see ads exactly on the topic. That was loud and clear!
The exact same thing happened to me when I was talking to my husband about a future, but slightly expensive purchase! I am thoroughly convinced there is something more sinister going on than we are being led to believe. My cat now officially wears a tinfoil hat. :)
I've been telling people for YEARS "when the police wants to know where you are, they ask apple" and people kept giving me shit for it...
This guy puts a lot of effort in his videos, love it
A lot but he needs to watch his video before uploading it. I highly doubt Facebook sends back only a single packet of data.
I was just discussing about internet privacy with my mom yesterday evening! Are you spying me?
Miss Lucario I listened to your conversation and sold it to thoughty2
Lmfao
this video has only just over 200k views, much less than his other videos.....hmmm that's not suspicious at all.
Yes Facebook pays CZcams or rather Google to suppress critical videos.
Lmao, bruh.
No douche nugget ..... it’s not a conspiracy theory douche canoe
553k now.
@@MrJamiez 554k 6 days after your comment
@@Joellations big brains nigga
I was once humming a song in my head while walking home. Then I went to CZcams and the first video I saw recommended to me was that video for that song. It was an old song that I hadn't heard for 20 years. Maybe it was just coincidence, but could CZcams be somehow reading my mind with my phone in my pocket?
That quote tho.
Pretty deep
Shrikant Naik Which one? He stole at least 1 of them.
I have a meaningful quote.
"We do not sell data to advertisers" - Leech Suckerberg
This is not new. They have done this for years and it's been known. But now? Oh no! Muh privacy! The privacy you gave away by accepting the terms of service lol
Anym the people which boycott Facebook due to privacy issues is the type of person to have Instagram.
My bestfriend and I were at a friends house, had dinner and he used his air fryer. Both of us standing in the kitchen talked about how much we loved it and wanted one of our own. The next day Facebook started showing me ads for Air Fryers and the day after that Facebook started showing the same ads to my friend.
Neither of us ever looked up air fryers or posted about air fryers, Facebook just started showing the ads. I can't even calculate the odds of that happening without them listening to our conversations. I am keeping Facebook but I uninstalled the app earlier today.
I just love your videos Arran! Pretty much no one else on CZcams has to offer so much interesting stuff, creative puns and so much effort to make the videos as enjoyable as possible. I often watch the same video 2 or more Times cuz they're sooo good. I'm poor af but i'll definately buy a membership and will support u on Patreon ASAP!! Keep doin what u do, your voice is also very nice to listen to btw
Nice video :) ... However off the topic - I wonder why this video didn't show up in my subscription feed ... Good that I randomly check whether there's new thoughty2 video from time to time :)
Or just never share any truths on the internet.
you just broke your own rule dude :D
Tangobaldy ... I don't think you watched the same video as I did. You don't need to share a goddamn thing, it's enough for them to just keep track of your location, hours you use phone, pages you go to and you don't even see it.
Or around electronics in general
You just shared a truth about truths
I pretty much just lie on the Internet. I've made a lot of enemies.
the other day i signed my mum up to amazon on my laptop with her own account under her name and email . weird thing is the same search results on amazon are now showing up in MY facebook news feed and youtube ads ...
I do think my phone is listening for keywords. I get CZcams recommendations based on something I've been talking about and it's fucking weird especially considering it happens with things I rarely talk about. Maybe not Facebook but Google is definitely listening
well google makes the os for your phone, so yeah. they are probably listening. thoughty's argument was that they dont have enough processing power. they do. its in your pocket.
Amazing and eye-opening video. Thank you for the amazing work! Respect++
I have 7 friends on facebook, I don't like anything except something personal from them. I also have add block. My account is worth zero to advertisers.
You're wrong no one is safe man they know everything about you anyway the fact that you have a Facebook or go on the internet regardless you're not safe they track your every move
CZcams must do it too.. I watched a programme on TV about Glasgow Central Station, because a friend of mine was on it, & I was taking about it during the half hour show, saying about my mate being on TV & talking about the trains that used to be there.. This morning, I was offered train videos about Scotland, when I've absolutely no interest in trains, & have never asked CZcams about them either.. It was only on to see my friend!! 😂 😂 Coincidence?? 🤔 I think not?! 🙄 I'm just going to repeat the mantra, coffee & weed!! 😂 If Amsterdam cafe holidays are recommended, then I'll know for sure!! 😂 😂
Excellent video and information that people dont know. Love your channel, keep up the good work!
Frequent uploads. I see. Thank you forty two
Your videos are masterpieces, they really are, obviously a lot of care has been put into each of them and they are so very informative and thoughtful.
But I must say, the extent to which your thumbnails have become click bate is ridiculous, it's come to the point where the jarring red makes me look away from the link and the photos of busty scantily clad women does not serve the point of a video about how social media causes depression or why modern music sucks. They are less eye-catching too, because they're not even aesthetically pleasing.
Again, I really do love your videos and appreciate that you make them, you are better than this. This isn't an attempt at bashing you, It's just something I've noticed and I'm curious as to wether anyone else agrees with me.
its how yt works now,theres no toeehr way,theres no honest and "content without a little bullshit".unfortunatel this is what the youtube alghorithm has forced content creators to do #fuckyt
Yes
I vote for the tits
Well, I guess he cares what ppl are saying and got the message cuz when I saw this video it was Zuckerberg and a clear summation of the content for the thumbnail.
good!
They have all the processing power they need. It’s called your phone.
agreed. they dont need supercomputers. phones are very powerful these days. and its not like most people utilize that power. the software could just do all the calculations on your phone. im not saying it is being done, but im not ruling it out either. hes not wrong though, the amount of data they get via other means suggests they just dont need to bother with tracking your microphone etc.
although they have been caught with it before, employees listening to saved microphone recordings for entertainment while at work.
It's also tailored to your worth. I got ads for $40 ID or key fobs that are around $3 - $10 in stores
"they put a WATERMELON into the White House", you are hysterically TRUE =)
Oh boy I love living here in the EU, what a beautiful place and time to be alive
It's any "smart" device. The creepiest thing that happened to me was when I bought a new Samsung TV. There were a bunch of setup menus that I found really irritating and finally -- presumably talking to myself -- I exclaimed out loud, "Enough of this setup crap! I just want to watch TV." BOOM! Instantly, the setup screen I was on disappeared and was replaced by a brief message, "Setup Complete".
He's the hard truth... The privacy age is over... no matter what you do someone is or can listen to watch or pay attention to it.
This video is quite wild and wacky. I like it! I can tell you especially had fun making this one.
I like they way you stitched the word ice cream in there, too. :P
Thanks Belgium 😘
I have to say, I find your videos both informative and entertaining. Usually I have to choose one or the other. Thanks.
As always, very informative.
Ohh so that's why facebook was showing depression related things.. i have told noone about it so i found that so creepy
Oh my
ikr isn't it really weird?
StaySkeptic true.. i also knew it but it was so creepy to actually see it..
The weird thing is that I was talking to a friend about her depression face to face. Guess what. Facebook recommended a book about depression... I didn't even search anything related to that topic. Only talking about it face to face. So I'm pretty sure they use the microphone
Teemo geez this is so fishy.. mark really is a reptilian robot i guess lol
You say, "make a tin foil hat for my hamster" like it was a bad thing...
LOL!!!
I thought everyone was making them .
( I removed this comment and it's still here )
What bothers me is that I’m not lucrative off of my own data. Greed is the straight road to perdition!!
I love your content thirty two. Keep it up man, very informative.
I have an ad for Facebook while watching this video
Hi Thoughty2, great video today, it was very interesting!! well my wife and I had our accounts terminated before he went to court about privacy being sold. so what the European Countries did a great thing, too bad the U.S. can't do something like that. oh and Thanks for saying that they still have our info, even though our accounts have been gone. Have a great Memorial Day weekend!!!

You know that you have a congress representative and European law is available in more than 20 languages?
You can adopt a constitution suitable to the 20th century (or even improve upon it).
You are free to emigrate 😊.
Start with step one?
I actually had the first advert on the internet that was relevant and useful. Thank you Thoughty.
I was searching for an old friend on Facebook but never found them. The next day i had an Email saying they had excepted MY REQUEST for friendship. I NEVER REQUESTED them. I hadn't even found them and when i saw their page it had no portrait photo so theres no way I was on it and hit the friend button by accident. I wonder how many other people have got friend requests I didnt send and ignored them. Thats screwed up !
Nobody tracks my location because I turn off location services. It takes too much battery power, so for an extra hour I turn it off.
You can still be tracked
Not as precise but using triangulation of the cell phone towers
Naive af!
Makes no difference dude
Only way to turn tracking off is take battery out of device
" and even worst ... smile " LMAO
"Whatever sort of plutonium-based preservative McDonalds not-hamburgers have" LMFAO pure gold

Wow a video that doesn't have a skill share ad. That's been a while.
Hey, that site is mad cool. lol I know what you mean tho but at least it's more useful than a pay-to-win mobile game app.
well done!
Watching this in 2021. Don't think even you imagined how nefarious they would become.
Not only has it been impossible too protect your personal data. It's equally impossible too delete certain apps. What the hell do they need access to all our private data.
What's equally disturbing, why do we give then the access 🤔
If you ever feel down, just remember, Cuckerberg had to use a booster seat while testifying
Weirdly inspirational
A shit ton of people had to use that booster seat.
Hahahaha yeah i saw that XD that big baby~
injustice fellow no one person is actually worth that much. He just has that much money. Approximately... either way, having a bunch of money doesn’t make him anything more than what he is... a piece of shit.
Also, thanks Putin.
A man truly not afraid to feel confortable. Unlike me.. im an insecure loser.. i feel down
And what about Google?
Please don't track me Google God!
Hasan Salman They do. They have their tracking systems on over 10, 000,000 websites
Hasan Salman dont worry
dude google is listening i have alot of conversations with my friends and everytime we use google to try and find something i press on one letter and boom auto complete just gives me exactly what i want
Not to mention they have their technology in our phones
Google is the worse one yet most people don't even know.
Whit my respect thank You Very much for nice experience wishing You plesend Day SER
Very well done , this is why I never had and never will have a Facebook account .
I was once googling for a new car to buy.
Bit later my Ad Banner on Skype changed to car ads.
Mine changed to hentai

1. It saves battery on oled screens

@Isak somebody with a fucking brain..
wow, that very thing 42 is talking about happened last week to a friend while he was sitting on my couch talking about his new asian girlfriend, and how he was going to break up with the current one...he mentioned helping her to buy a house and the next thing his phone started some advert about real estate in the city and town we were in....and his phone was not even turned on...
Haha Thoughty2 your own quote just snugly fit right in!! Nice!
2:08 umm no you did not make that up
@04:39 ...with current technology is impossible... "CURRENT"!!
Hysterical, tomorrow I am going to the Hard Rock in Tampa for the first time and I live here, and it was exactly pointed out on the map in this vid. Might I start getting HR ads now? Binge watching this channel for the past month, catching up on some very Pre-Stach vids.
CZcams thinks im over 65 and thinks that I may be a type 2 diabetic. It's also time to refinance my home mortgage... I wish that last part was true.
Am I the only one that doesn’t really care? I don’t have money to spend on those ads anyway 😂
@Cameron Beattie exactly. these are the same fucking morons from the early internet days who would bow down to never share pictures or daily life information about themselves, yet nowadays try to hide themselves while using apps like uber and facebook. hypocrites will live like this until they die.
5:50 fuck he knows ...
I love your videos. I LOVE THEM. pls may you do a video on gingerness and the general issue of ginger-dom
