TikTok kann Nutzer auch ohne App oder Account über Tracking-Pixel erfassen.

Viele Menschen gehen davon aus, ohne TikTok-Account oder installierte App vor Datenerfassung sicher zu sein. Doch genau hier liegt das Problem. Recherchen zeigen, dass die Plattform offenbar auch dann Informationen sammelt, wenn Nutzer nie aktiv bei TikTok angemeldet waren.

Also funny when the Feedback Form to the #ISP's own speedtest is just a tiny #TrackingPixel instead...

#Meta’s #trackingpixel was secretly communicating with Meta’s apps on #Android devices. This violates a fundamental security feature #sandboxing of #mobileOS that prevents #apps from communicating with each other. Meta got around this restriction by exploiting #localhost, a feature meant for developer testing. This allowed Meta to create a hidden channel between mobile browser apps and its own apps.

Protect Yourself From Meta’s Latest Attack on Privacy

The best way to stop this cycle of invasive tracking techniques and patchwork fixes is to ban online behavioral advertising. This would end the practice of targeting ads based on your online activity, removing the primary incentive for companies to track and share your personal data. We need strong federal privacy laws to ensure that you, not Meta, control what information you share online.

@Tutanota Detection, display and blocking of pixel tracker (web beacon) in Tuta app and email client in browser by default will be helpful. These mass surveillance tools in the name of read receipts or open counts are very common in corporate emails here in the US.

Wenn mensch Newsletter ohne Trackingbullshit versenden möchte, was würde das #fediverse #followerpower empfehlen?

@pretix habt ihr da Empfehlungen? Gehr das direkt in eurem Ticketing-shop?

#Trackingpixel und anderen Quatsch zur Überwachung der Abonennierenden lehne ich ab, bin selber davon genervt.

@JoeRess Tracking pixel? Wait, what? OK, can someone explain to me like I'm a complete idiot? I know what a tracking pixel is when it comes to web sites and graphical UIs. Is that what we're talking about here, or is there some kind of audio equivalent that I'm just not aware of?
