Meta (Facebook, Instagram) & Yandex nutzen lokale Ports auf Android-Geräten, um Browserdaten mit nativen Apps zu verknüpfen. Dieses „Web-to-App-ID-Sharing“ hebelt Inkognito-Modus, Cookie-Löschen & Berechtigungssysteme aus. Betroffen: Milliarden Nutzer. Meta hat das Verhalten nach Offenlegung gestoppt. Nach meiner Ansicht wäre hier die Höchststrafe fällig: 4 % vom Umsatz!

This BBC interview has a #Cloudflare rep David Bellson who describes CF’s observations on internet traffic. CF tracks for example the popularity of Facebook vs. Tiktok. Neither of those services are Cloudflared, so how is CF tracking this? Apparently they are snooping on traffic that traverses their servers and recording what people are talking about. Or is there a more legit way Cloudflare could be monitoring this activity?
