Many people claim that after speaking about something, Facebook or Instagram shows them ads about that very same thing. Tech folks deny this is happening. This question will resolve to yes if Meta admits that they were using the iPhone mic to harvest keywords for better targeted advertising. This revelation must come before the end of 2025 and they must admit to this being done before 2024. If a major news source breaks the story and Meta denies it but it's fairly clear from folks like WSJ, NYT, etc that this will soon come to light, that will also count and the question will resolve to yes.
