Apparently, if you have facebook or Instagram installed on your phone, #Meta was able to track your browsing habits and link them to your real identity even if you never logged in on the web, used incognito mode or a VPN. I hope Meta gets hit with every fine in the book.

“Localhost tracking” explained. It could cost Meta 32 billion.

You just can't finish off Zuckerberg.

“You’re not affected if (and only if)

• You access Facebook and Instagram via the web, without having the apps installed on your phone
• You browse on desktop computers or use iOS (iPhones)
• You always used the Brave browser or the DuckDuckGo search engine on mobile”
