Why do you interpretate a DNS request as a "privacy invasion"?
To me many DNS request sounds like a broken / poorly designed app. Do you block the requests - is that reason for the large number?
- schleck8 4y agoBecause some of the domains mixed into the bunch, which were contacted independently from the CDN at times, are known tracking domains. Even disregarding this fact, Douyin has 700 million annual users and this issue does not exist with Tiktok which uses the same codebase. You are telling me this is not intentional but an accident? With a company as large and skilled as Bytedance?
- throwaway4good 4y agoIt is an app not constrained by browser same origin rules. It could just do one request sending the tracking information and the receiver could pass that on as needed. I don't think you can deduce what you deduce from the number of DNS requests it does.
- schleck8 4y agoIt's rather about the fact that this is happening minutes after closing the app than the number, I do agree with you on the latter
- sam0x17 4y agoThe domains in question are very clearly analytics collectors disguised as cdns
