At this point it not about passive collection, corporations are going to extreme ends to get our data.

I am interested in what people are doing to enforce their privacy while using the web.

I have some things in place, looking to compare with the community.

(btw, I am new here, this is my first post. So uh… Hi )

This android only.

From the article:

Meta managed to do this even when:

  • You aren’t using the app (but have a session open in the background).

  • You haven’t logged into your account in the browser.

  • You’re browsing in incognito mode.

  • You’re using a VPN.

  • You delete cookies at the end of every session.

The captured data includes:

  • Complete browsing history with specific URLs

  • Products added to cart and purchases made

  • Registrations on websites and completed forms

  • Temporal behavioral patterns across websites and apps

  • Direct linking to real identities on social networks

You’re not affected if (and only if)

  • You access Facebook and Instagram via the web, without having the apps installed on your phone

  • You browse on desktop computers or use iOS (iPhones)

  • You always used the Brave browser or the DuckDuckGo search engine on mobile

What if I never access Facebook, and have ever had a Facebook account?
