Halfway through the article has a list of "VPNs" to keep you "safe" from tracking.
Feels pretty disingenuous.
I get this is a popular topic ("your phone is listening to show you ads").
And already had some non-technical friends ask me about it.
So at least the article gives a detailed explanation about targeted advertising and fingerprinting.
- borbtactics 3y agoMy coworker and I had exactly the same thought about that VPN ad.
- pwg 3y agoIt looks very much like a blogvertisment. That is a blog post written only for the purpose of actually being an advertisement for some product (in this case, for VPN providers).
- criddell 3y agoExcept the VPN probably wouldn't help with this problem, would it? Their data isn't being intercepted by some evil MITM.
