AAP is Interesting

Let me explain exactly why your phone seems to read your thoughts, because the real answer is more invasive than telepathy. Every time you open a website or app, a real-time bidding auction fires in under 100 milliseconds. Your GPS coordinates, browsing history, device fingerprint, age, gender, income bracket, and hundreds of inferred interest categories get packaged into a “bid request” and broadcast to hundreds of companies simultaneously. One company wins the ad slot. All of them keep the data. This happens thousands of times per day per person. A 2018 New York Times investigation found 75 companies pulling precise location data from apps, with some users tracked up to 14,000 times in 24 hours. In 2012, a Target statistician identified 25 products that, purchased in combination, could predict a customer was pregnant and estimate her due date. A teenager’s father discovered she was pregnant because Target sent baby coupons to the house before she told anyone. That was one retailer. Store receipts only. Fourteen years ago. Now scale that. Your phone pings GPS while you sleep. Data brokers link your phone, laptop, and tablet through probabilistic matching of IP addresses, WiFi networks, and behavioral patterns without you ever logging in. The FTC caught two brokers in 2024 categorizing people by visits to reproductive health clinics, political protests, and religious services, then selling those profiles to law enforcement. The algorithm doesn’t hear your thoughts. It compares your behavioral fingerprint against millions of similar profiles and predicts your next interest before you’re consciously aware of it. It makes hundreds of predictions per day. You ignore the misses. The five hits feel like telepathy. You paid for the phone. You pay for the data plan. You generate the signal. And every time a page loads, your identity gets auctioned to the highest bidder before the content even renders. They called it “personalized advertising” because “real-time mass surveillance funded by the people being surveilled” doesn’t fit on a consent banner.

@anuragdhanda शोक सभा में भी गुंडागर्दी! @Saurabh_MLAgk पर हमला दिखाता है कि इंसानियत बीजेपी के लिए मायने ही नहीं रखती।

सौरभ भारद्वाज की पहले जासूसी कराई जाती है, फिर आज हाथापाई की जाती है, सौरभ भारद्वाज के पीछे बहुत से लोग लगे हैं मैं चाहता हूं सौरभ भारद्वाज जैसे नेता को हर हाल में कड़ी सुरक्षा मिलनी चाहिए।।

The Magistrate should have sent them home on personal bonds. That’s the law. The Magistrate passed an order that’s not as per the law.

In all this waffle, Mr. @ShashiTharoor ignores the basic fact that we haven’t been silent. We have explicitly taken a side, when our Prime Minister publicly stated that he stood with his ‘good friend’ Netanyahu; a man who represents the most grotesque regime in modernity and is wanted by the ICJ for crimes against humanity. Our performative antics have lost us the trust of a valuable and long standing ally, and forfeited national interest in exchange for some surveillance equipment, likely to be used against our own citizens. Advocating a departure from morality is not and never can be the starting position for any policy, foreign or domestic. It is certainly unacceptable to make immorality the corner stone of policy, particularly when it doesn’t serve the interests of the Indian people. A terribly disappointing but increasingly predictable position from Mr. Tharoor. He should be grateful he belongs to a political tradition that permits intellectual divergence, of this magnitude and despite his direct challenge to the vision articulated by the @INCIndia leadership, through Mrs. Sonia Gandhi’s article some days ago.

Good Morning! You pay tax so that: -> Ministers get petrol for free 🚗 -> Politicians get pension for life 👴 -> Bureaucrats get bungalows for rent of ₹3/month 🏠 YOU get a helpline number that nobody picks up, Feels good, doesn't it? 😄

डॉ हुजैफा रहमान कहते हैं कि गैंग्स ऑफ वासेपुर में मंत्री रामाधीर सिंह की कही हुई उस बात को इतिहास के सुनहरे अक्षरों में लिख देना चाहिए । 👇👇👇👇👇👇👇👇👇👇👇👇👇👇 जब तक हिंदुस्तान में सनिमा है लोग चू/तियां बनते रहेंगे 👆👆👆👆👆👆👆👆👆👆👆👆👆👆 अब इस क्लिप को ही देख लीजिए। धुरंधर 2 की इस क्लिप में अतीक अहमद का पाकिस्तान से कनेक्शन दिखाया जा रहा है। और साथ ही साथ लाइव मर्डर भी दिखाया गया है । मतलब कुछ भी ?

There was a golden chance to show Nehru as a Pakistani agent in Dhurandhar2 Such a missed opportunity! 😅

@KanwalSibal Ab ki baar Trump sarkar

He is implicitly admitting the US committed unprovoked aggression against Iran just as Japan did by attacking the US at Pearl Harbour! And saying this with the Japanese PM by his side! No finesse at all. Brutally insensitive.

Right wing supporters btw

Aditya Dhar is nothing but the Bollywood version of Amit Malviya! #Dhurandhar #Dhurandhar2

So, the BJP knows very well, that the theatrical Release of Files, Story and Dhurandhar type hate filled propaganda movies ‘Would Break Up Hindu-Muslim Relationship’ They promote those movies for exactly THAT

पालम में ख़ुद को बचाने के लिए लोग गुहार लगाते रहे लेकिन BJP सरकार और Fire brigade की लापरवाही से उनकी जान चली गई और अब BJP बेशर्मी से गुंडागर्दी पर उतर आई है 😢 यह मौत नहीं बल्कि चार इंजन की सरकार द्वारा प्रायोजित हत्या है‼️

Oh the family is an AAP volunteer family. Man, how can BJP stoop so low, AAP Delhi head @Saurabh_MLAgk and Convenor @ArvindKejriwal visited their volunteer’s family. And BJP goons created ruckus there. What a low life people these are.

Congratulations Punjab. In collaboration with the World Bank, the Punjab Govt will invest Rs 3,500 crore in the State's Education Infrastructure over the Next Six Years. World Bank will provide Rs 2,500 crore, which is tied to the learning outcomes achieved by Govt Schools, while the Punjab Govt will contribute the remaining Rs 1,000 crore.

We Just Don’t talk, we deliver EP1. Raghav Chaddha talked of menstrual health and governments roles in Parliament recently. He forgot to mention that all that he has been talking is already done in Delhi by his Political Guru @ArvindKejriwal Watch my first of many upcoming videos.

If you know me, you’ve heard me talk about this story for months. @HeraRizwan reported from 3 states. We obsessed over every detail. Google's AI, designed for phones, is now rationing food to pregnant women. Read. Get angry. Share boomlive.in/decode/ai-faci… @pulitzercenter
