The people from @datenanfragende are working on a super interesting tool to fight the vast and mostly illegal mobile tracking:

Tweasel: Building infrastructure for detecting and complaining about tracking and privacy violations in mobile apps on Android and iOS.

Tweasel update #3: Switching to a better unpinning script, fixing bugs and writing docs · datarequests.org

The third installment of our semi-regular updates on the development of the tweasel project. This time, we have switched to a different certificate pinning bypass script and fixed various bugs on different platforms and devices. We have also continued working on our documentation and outreach, and collected new traffic data for our TrackHAR adapters.

@rufposten @datenanfragende @dev_at_datarequestsORG @tracktor asked this in https://codeberg.org/rufposten/tracktor.it/issues/111 now
Will this get obsolete with tweasel?

Tweasel could make this project here obsolete, could not it? See https://www.datarequests.org/devlog/tweasel-update-3/ https://github.com/tweaselORG After all, they also try to build a tracker database I saw. And the same other things hmm…

@rugk Indeed, just as @rufposten said in https://chaos.social/@tracktor/113117584454373101, we have been in contact about this already.

We've actually just started working on extending our functionality for websites this month. I'll do my best to publish a new devlog as soon as I find the time—a lot has happened since the last one. ^b

Tracktor.it! 🚜-✉️ (@[email protected])

Weil es Rückfragen gab: Tracktor wird aktuell nicht weiterentwickelt. Die Website ist buggy und die Trackerliste nicht mehr aktuell. Experten können die Beschwerdetexte aber sicher anpassen an neue Gesetzesnamen und Technologien. Ich finde gerade nicht die Zeit 🤷‍♂️. Die Kollegen von @[email protected] haben ein tolles ähnliches Projekt für Apps aufgesetzt (#tweasel). Mit ihnen war von Beginn an abgesprochen, dass sie die Tracktor-Funktionalität gerne übernehmen können, soweit das möglich ist.
