Yesterday, in my house, I was talking about David Duke, and later that day, I got email from him.
How did that happen?Here's a screen shot of the email:
I googled the title of the book. Screen shot:
I'm not interested in discussing that book or David Duke in general.
Well, then why were you talking about David Duke in your house yesterday?, you might ask.
Answer: We were talking about the Prada story, blogged here, which referred to "historical images of Sambo," and it led to a discussion of whether the name "Sambo" is unusable. There's a restaurant in California called "Sambo's," and it's been around a long time. If the name refers to white people, is that okay? Could you call a dog "Sambo" — and would it depend on whether or not the dog was black? What were other questionable names for a dog? There's the classic dog name "Duke," but you certainly wouldn't want anyone to think you'd named your dog after David Duke.
That was the context! I've got nothing good to say about David Duke, and I basically hate even to put his name on this blog. I've done it a few times. You can click the tag to see what has provoked me, but I hadn't mentioned him since "Why wouldn't Donald Trump 'unequivocally condemn David Duke and say that [he doesn't] want his vote or that of other white supremacists in this election'?" (February 2016).
Maybe it's merely a coincidence that I got that email yesterday, but I'm concerned that one or more of my devices is listening to our speech in the house and some company is gathering information about me and using it commercially.
I don't have any of the devices like Echo or Alexa that listen to accept voice commands, and while all my devices — laptop, desktop, iPhone, iPad — have Siri, I have all of them set not to "Listen for 'Hey Siri.'" I read "Here’s How Facebook or Any Other App Could Use Your Phone's Microphone to Gather Data" (Money) and followed the instructions to go to Settings —> Privacy —> Microphone, which got me to the page that is supposed to list all the apps "that have requested access to the microphone" and there were no apps listed — not on the iPhone and not on the iPad.
