P.S. The ad networks aren't listening to you, but they're terrifyingly good at predicting your behavior!
They know who you're spending time with via location data. They know what you and those people have already bought. They know your age and other demographic characteristics. They know you lingered on an Instagram ad for 3 seconds before scrolling.
The solution is to use ad-blockers everywhere. Also, avoid apps and products that explicitly track you.

I called this bullshit out 3 years ago. Looks like I was right.
"At the time, there were significant doubts this was actually happening, and the FTC complaints back this up. This service did not, in fact, listen in on consumers' conversations."
Smartphone mics are NOT always-on listening for ad targeting. It's just not happening. If companies bypassed iOS or Android protections, it would be a huge deal and patched immediately.

Adblocker, Duckduckgo, Trackingabwehr, Cookiebanner etc. und auch bezahlte Dienste (damit man mich dort in Ruhe lässt).
trotzdem bin ich immer im Wettlauf um meine digitale Privatsphäre.
Es gibt weitere Methoden, aber ich will mich nicht wie ein Verbrecher auf der Flucht verhalten.

Not even reading "between" the lines, but simply... reading the lines. Waterfox is in deep trouble.
The dev is stating clearly on Reddit (for months now) that they've been in the red, financially speaking, for quite some time.
Their new inbuilt adblocker (based on Brave's implementation) is yes partially to have something inbuilt, but also so they can (by default) let ads through on their default search provider.
And now Waterfox has been dropped by Startpage (due to Startpage losing rather than making money on Waterfox users) and Waterfox has had to (as an interim solution hopefully) adopt 1.org as their default search provider. 1.org, which is a "charitable" search engine, but which is opaque on what search index it uses, is owned by the adtech company System1, and which states in their privacy policy that they collect data and share it with various advertising networks and social media networks.

Why do you suppose #Samsung decided to randomly send me this email completely out of the blue?
Methinks they're in trouble about something or about to be in trouble about something and are doing damage control.
I don't recall ever being told about this before, so this isn't a "reminder", and the "settings" on my TV for disabling this are well-buried and confusing, an obvious dark pattern intended to dissuade people from turning off the privacy-invasive functionality.
