Hmm, could be that they track behaviour before and after a conversation for both participants and then follow that on to whoever else they talk to. Eventually, someone follows up on something and it gets traced all the way back to you?

I'm less inclined to believe they read messages than I am to believe that the ML algorithms and data collection process is now good enough to make it seem that way. I actually think that the latter is more dangerous because it's less obvious how they do it and the potential for misuse is higher e.g. Cambridge Analytica.
