I don't know if phones are listening with an open mic, but I have no doubt they're doing things like scraping text messages. I sent my wife a text saying "I need new dress shoes for work" then went to Amazon and the front page was filled with men's dress shoes. And yes, I confirmed she hadn't searched for them first.

I use an extension to remove all cookies, so the site just shows the usual random crap. I'll log in when I'm ready to order.
