#Meta #Facebook and #Yandex are always looking for new ways to spy on you and track you. #LocalMess is the latest in a long line of abusive methods to gather your private data. Having their mobile app installed gives them super powers. Uninstall it. If you must use these services, do not use their app, keep it in the browser, or even better, use a wrapper app, like

I am only contacting you today to let you know: Your registration form is still missing fields for entering stool or urine samples to establish my identity.

Have a nice and relaxing day.

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. 👇

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...."

The Press Democrat · How to stop Walnut Creek Chamber of Commerce partner from cyber tracking youBy JULIA PRODIS SULEK

#Meta is seriously concerning 👿

Their apps open local ports on #Android, while their #tracking pixels, embedded in thousands of websites, connect to these ports and gather information about users. This effectively bypasses #privacy measures such as private browsing or clearing cookies, making users personally identifiable on websites that use those pixels.

Although it appears they have stopped this technique after it was uncovered, it still reveals Meta's true intentions, imho.

Meta (Facebook, Instagram) & Yandex nutzen lokale Ports auf Android-Geräten, um Browserdaten mit nativen Apps zu verknüpfen. Dieses „Web-to-App-ID-Sharing“ hebelt Inkognito-Modus, Cookie-Löschen & Berechtigungssysteme aus. Betroffen: Milliarden Nutzer. Meta hat das Verhalten nach Offenlegung gestoppt. Nach meiner Ansicht wäre hier die Höchststrafe fällig: 4 % vom Umsatz!

"For now, the most comprehensive protection against Meta Pixel and Yandex Metrica tracking is to refrain from installing the Facebook, Instagram, or Yandex apps on Android devices."

That's exactly what I do.

@AAKL

Right. And it's not just supercookies, either: sites use all sorts of other utilities to fingerprint you and then track you across the Web.

Deleting cookies does not anonymise you and is no substitute for refusing permission for them to track you and making #tracking as hard as possible. Ways to do that include #Firefox, #uBlockOrigin, #PrivacyBadger, #Decentraleyes and (for those with the know-how) #PiHole.

When I’m presented with the following options:

What I actually see is:
- Accept cookies

- Exit / Leave / Run and never look back

You know which one I’m picking ;P What about you?

3️⃣ Wechseln wir kurz zu #Datenschutz:

In #Russland liegt ein Gesetz vor, mit dem Ausländer rund um Moskau verpflichtet werden, eine #Tracking-App zu installieren, mit der sie die Staatsorgane jederzeit orten können. Natürlich zur «Verbrechensbekämpfung».

Natürlich wirft das etliche Fragen rund um #Privatsphäre auf. Aber auch um Meinungsfreiheit. Wenn jedes Treffen geloggt wird, ist es schwierig, an Informationen zu kommen, die nicht von der Regierung sind.
