- gizzlon 11mo agoYou still have the fb app? You know the spied everything you browsed, right? And if they didn't, it was not for lack of trying... What does it take for people to delete this shit?
- RulerOf 11mo ago> You know the spied everything you browsed, right? I remember that this "became news" some time ago, but it's always pretty obvious the moment it loads. App presenting an SFSafariViewController? "Convenience" that's intended to keep users in the app. App presenting a WKWebView? Assume it's loaded with spyware scripts.
- gizzlon 11mo agono no, not in the fb app, in the mobile browser: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=44169115 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=44169115 TBF it's "only" sites with a meta pixel, and on Android. But in my book this does not matter, it shows their intentions
- RulerOf 11mo agoOhhh yes I remember that one. Diabolically clever. I'm sure there's also no user-controlled firewall to stop it on Android either.
- jefftk 11mo agoThat's right. Several times they sneakily reverted my preference, and I reset it. The most recent time I went to do that again and learned it's no longer possible.
- OptionOfT 11mo agoI'm not sure the setting is even there in the FB app anymore.
- agluszak 11mo agoCorrect, it's ignored. I find it strange that the EU isn't looking into it.
