Let me know when you get contacted about something unique that wasn't already out there before you spoke to someone about them.

I believe he's talking about smart devices (internet connected) passive listening.  Same idea as google putting ads in front of you based on what is in your search history or the content of your emails; but with your phone or other devices picking up on keywords without your specific knowledge or permission (outside of some legalese in T&C's).  This is happening.  Trust me. 


Reminds me of when I worked for a company that was once going through a big federal trial that attracted a lot of attention because it effectively set precedence that had was completely void at that time.  I ended up getting subpoenaed for a deposition along with many years of my emails at that company.  Aside from the inter office banter that HR certainly wouldn't have enjoyed, I had nothing to worry about because I knew I hadn't communicated disparagingly about the other parties in question and certainly hadn't done anything wrong.  This was all because a mentor of mine told me long ago not to put anything in writing you wouldn't want plastered across the NYT.  

At this point, unless you take extreme measures to stay completely off the grid, everyone needs to come to the realization that everything they do is being monitored.  From the mundane trivial tasks of everyday life to the stuff you wouldn't want your momma knowing about.
