Poor analogy - Firstly, people might overhear a conversation, but its meaningless to the listener - if they start talking about random events, such as
'My Paul went to Tesco today' or
'Did you watch Eastenders lastnight? Shocking wasn't it?'
The listener wouldn't be able to pick up anything from this conversation that was remotely interesting or relevant to gather up any kind of significant profile and this is the difference between a real life conversation and the internet, where data is tracked to serve relevant ads.
Secondly, if I was going to have a conversation where I thought it was a private and a sensitive one - I wouldn't be talking in public now would I?
