 Creepy, also I know it's only a patent application and so companies just put any old shit in and see what sticks but come on...If the patent office is underfunded maybe they should be able to just put fines on large firms when string together obvious shit in the hope of getting a patented. 
 It’s only a patent but it’s not that unlikely to be implemented imo as they could offer you subscriptions or addons to not be spied on or to not show you ads
