Out of curiosity I installed the Google app on my Fire 8+ tablet
(Android fork OS) and the Discovery search page looks pretty much
the same as the Chrome browser. Google claims to make the articles
interesting to me by monitoring my usage. Scary for the paranoid,
huh.

I had never used the 'Google' app, nor the 'Discover' part within
Chrome. This thread triggered me to try the 'Google' app and the
funny thing is that the kind of articles Google presents to me, seems
to be largely, but not solely, based of my activity on *Microsoft*'s
*MSN* in the *Edge* browser. So different company, different news
platform and different app/browser, but they seem to be 'linked'
anyway. *Double* scary for the paranoid! :-)

And I suspect things will only get worse (better?) with evolving AI...
