This article is obviously anecdotal and not proof... But me and my wife have been experiencing very similar things and she is convinced that Facebook or Google are doing the same thing. We have had a few, instances in the last month where our conversation in the car was followed by relevant advertising just minutes later when she looks at Facebook... Not actually making an accusation, but we are definitely suspicious at this point.

Anecdotal as well, but I took all the app media permissions away from Facebook and Google apps and the weird advertising coincidences stopped. The apps run just as well.

I still get targeted ads based on my FB posts, but that's the accepted trade.
