Protect Yourself From Meta’s Latest Attack on #Privacy

Researchers recently caught #Meta using an egregious new #tracking technique to #spy on you. Exploiting a technical loophole, the company was able to have their apps snoop on users’ web #browsing.

Users alleged that #Google’s analytics, cookies and apps let the #Alphabet unit improperly #track people who set Google’s Chrome browser to “incognito” mode and other browsers to “#private#browsing mode.”

The Guardian · Google to destroy billions of private browsing records to settle lawsuitBy Guardian staff reporter

Si je ne réponds pas, ce n'est pas forcément contre toi ; parfois c'est juste que je ne sais PAS QUOI dire.

[EN] If I don't answer, it's not necessarily against you; sometimes it's just that I don't know WHAT to say.

I write #hashtags (including in D.M.) for #search #engine optimization and for a better #browsing (links to #results).
