Uh, no.
Using a web framework is very different from using a third party data collection tool that gives the third party access to the data.
Unless the React devs are also tracking user behavior on third party sites. But that would be a separate lawsuit.
Full disclosure: I buy ads from Google.
- up2you 6y agoIncognito Mode states plainly that it DOES NOT prevent the website you are visiting from tracking you. Another commenter said that this wording implies that it DOES prevent Google Analytics, since it is not part of the site. My argument was that drawing a distinction between a "site" and modules that are part of that "site" but are from other parties is dubious (also, likely impossible).
- jlbnjmn 6y agoGoogle is not the website being visited, and if it's not a big deal, then why doesn't it say, "Google will still track you using third party analytics, font requests, ad pixels, single sign on, and recaptcha"? I mean, if nobody really cares, why not be more direct about it?
