Visithra : "Ever been freaked out when your conversation with someone led to an ad popping out on Instagram or Facebook ? Well, you are not alone. Most of the applications you use are all connected and owned by the same company. Just follow the colours to see who is connected to who.
There's really no running away from social media, unless you delete all your online presence (though they may still store your information), switch off the internet and become a hermit. Technology has it perks but along with it come cons that put your privacy at stake.
Social media surveillance is a reality so you might want to regularly check out your privacy settings and understand how much access they have to your information."
