I hate this sort of post, not for what it’s saying but how it’s saying it. This is one news organization writing a story about another news organization poll, and no links to the data are evident. Links to the original news story which aired via a YouTube link, but there’s not even a transcript of it up as I check yet.
So, it’s great that there a backlash, but without context of the data it’s not worth citing.
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
