Gregory's Server@Sheril Is there any evidence this is actually happening? This claim from CMG is a few years old, I think, but I haven't read anything to suggest it’s more than a scummy ad company making up shit to sell ads.

🚨 Y’all! TL;DR this headline is misleading!
Let’s practice media literacy skills together. I say this without judgement; I’ve fallen for this in the past as well.
Futurism link = 2nd-hand reporting on 404’s original reporting.
And what 404 describe is a pitch deck. An unverified claim.
They elaborate on this in their most recent podcast ("Telegram Founder”), and note that this ability has not been proven, and describe the “confirmation bias” effect.
