Just a poll for curiosity -
It was only recently I found out my browsing activity on my phone is been monitored by facebook, what is scary is it does this even when you are not logged into the app', I just wondered how many know about this and how many consider this to be too much snooping?
I found a way to turn it off so it won't track me when I am logged out of FB, I think it is scary tbh that this is even a thing and it is automatically switch on by default.

It's scary isn't it.
I watched this the other day "Panorama" Amazon: What They Know About Us (TV Episode 2020) - IMDb - https://www.imdb.com/title/tt11771074/, much the same thing I guess.
