Views of hatred are entrenched in the U.S., as these behaviors and beliefs have existed since before the country's founding. While the most targeted and unjust policies have been repealed, and equal protections have been established, there is an ongoing failure to protect those limited and harmed by systemic inequities.

** Myth or Reality: Is Our Tech Listening?
------------------------------------------------------------

[link removed]

As technology has become more advanced, accessible, and personalized, many have noticed increasingly targeted ads, making the public ask, are our phones listening to us?

It's a common conspiracy theory that companies use our phones and tech items to listen to our conversations to gain data on which ads to show us. Many news outlets and leaders of the tech industry have said this isn't true. Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg has even denied the claims under oath. So, what leads people to believe this is true, what do experts say, and are there any tech products that do listen to our conversations?

Are you concerned about your tech listening to you? ([link removed])
