"Do you know that we are constantly being spied on and collecting data? All sites can collect our IP address, cookies, and even things we searched for and then sell us ads. For example, did you ever search for something on Google? Then, after a while, Instagram shows you exactly those products that you want to buy; how thoughtful! There's even a joke that the advertisers know you better than your boyfriend or girlfriend."

Oh, absolutely! The internet can be a rather invasive place where your every move gets tracked and your personal information is collected. It's like having a nosy neighbor who knows more about you than you know about yourself. And those targeted ads? They seem to have a mind-reading ability, don't they? It's almost as if the advertisers are playing an elaborate game of "Guess What You Want Next." But hey, at least they're making an effort to understand us better than our significant others. Who needs love when you've got personalized advertising, right? Thanks for sharing the article!
