Sync tracking attempts - Lemmy.world

So this seems like a pretty intense level of tracking. Certainly much more than any of the other lemmy apps I have tried. I get advertisements, totally fine with them earning money, but it took me by surpise. If I look at the privacy policy, it certainly does not indicate to me this level of monitoring. For the record, I am not implying deception on the devs part at all, I am sure things are spelled our correctly in the privacy policy. Just wasn’t sure everone was aware of the extent. Cheers!

Are those exactly what it’s tracking or what it’s “known” to track?

Former? Bad

Latter? This post is misrepresenting at best and downright malicious at worst.

Hello! Promise no malice intended.

I was just playing around with the app and noticed duckduck go blocking a ton of new tracking attempts.

I can only go by what was stated in the app as “attempts” hence my post.

Someone who understand how duckduckgos tracking blocker work might know better however. Perhaps you are 100% right.

I read this as “Google attempted to track you 28 times. We don’t know specifically what they were after, but Google is known (who is doing the knowing I don’t know) to track the following information.” So basically it’s saying Google was definitely trying to get your info, and here’s a list of what they might have been after. But it’s not proof of what was actually tracked.
