is a great site to see what your web-browser is sending everytime you visit any website.

It shows a lot of information that most of us didn't know was being sent to website owners and big-tech.

Ich habe jetzt mal als erste Maßnahme #pihole im Heimnetz ausgerollt. Nach dem Motto: Wenn das für mich bereits zu hoch, ist brauche ich nicht mit pfsense anzufangen.

Bislang scheint alles gut zu laufen. Etwas schockierend: Obwohl ich meinen Browser bereits ziemlich vernagelt habe (ublock origin mit vielen Listen, Privacy Badger mit schärferen Einstellungen) fischt pihole immer noch die ein oder andere Domain raus. Gruselig, wieviel #Tracking da draußen mitläuft...

Gibt es hier Schulen, Eltern, Schüler, die Quizlet einsetzen? Das ist keine gute Idee, weil: Die App überträgt schon beim Start ohne Interaktion Daten an Tracking- & Werbenetzwerke wie Google, Amazon, AppsFlyer, Braze & Co. – ohne Einwilligung. Besonders kritisch im Schulkontext. Datenschutz? Fehlanzeige. 👇

Quizlet überträgt schon beim Start zahlreiche Daten an Drittanbieter – ohne Einwilligung. Datenschutzrechtlich höchst problematisch, besonders für Schulen. 👇

Jetzt neu: Aufbereiteter Datenmitschnitt als HTML-Tabelle verfügbar.

Press Democrat: How to stop Walnut Creek Chamber of Commerce partner from cyber tracking you

"...“It’s just super creepy,” said a veteran technology editor.

Dan Goodin has been covering Silicon Valley’s internet security issues for two decades and if you ask him what he thinks about the Walnut Creek Chamber of Commerce’s plans to track the locations of visitors in town, he has this to say:

“It’s just super creepy.”

Arrivalist, the cyber location company partnering with the chamber of commerce, will be using data from cell towers, WiFi routers and “other means,” the company’s website says, to track the whereabouts of mobile devices from people coming into the East Bay city, for events, say, to hotels.

It doesn’t ask permission...."

EurekAlert!Research co-led by IMDEA Networks discovers a privacy abuse involving Meta and Yandex bridging persistent identifiers to browsing historiesAn international research collaboration between IMDEA Networks’ Internet Analytics Group, headed by Narseo Vallina-Rodriguez, Prof. Gunes Acar (Radboud University, NL), and Tim Vlummens (KU Leuven, Belgium), has recently uncovered a potential privacy abuse involving Meta and the Russian tech giant Yandex. They found that native Android apps – including Facebook, Instagram, and several Yandex apps such as Maps, Navi, Browser, and Search – silently listen on fixed local ports on mobile devices to de-anonymize users’ browsing habits without consent.
