Someone should create a leaderboard of websites sharing data with the most “partners”, this week I saw someone on Mastodon posting a screenshot of a website sharing to 1700+ third-parties.
My faulty memory tells me 9gag has somewhere around 3000 or so. But I worked with a lot of numbers recently so I have no idea how accurate that is.
The most shocking thing about that is that 9gag still exists. How far has it degraded?
You say that like 9gag had a quality site at one point
It had some funny meme and your browser didn’t freeze after scrolling for 5 minutes. That’s already 1 point for 9gag
Edit: this was around 2015. No idea how 9gag looks like now
I know we shouldn’t abuse the word, but I feel like “slut” is appropriate here.
To continue that analogy, they’re the pimp and you’re the slut. You’re the one getting shared around.
Visit our site as you normally would with the advertising and tracking.
No, i wouldn’t normally visit any site with the advertising and tracking.
At least they mention that they track you. Most talk only about ads.
Is kinda funny having pihole and seeing “0 partners” in my Samsung TV
Like the actual string?
Yeah, i think their terms of services are scripted so if they get more or less advertisers based on your country between other things, that way they can redirect the same page to everybody
Oh so that’s how they do it, has to go to the list of things that give you feelings of power
Out of curiosity, what service was this?
The “Blocked since install” stat on uBlockOrigin is always an eye-opener.
Fuck me, 6 million across both browsers and my work PC.
The data broker deletion services all advertise deleting your info from 2-300 agents. Who the fuck are the other several thousand, what are they doing with the data, and how the fuck is any of this legal.
We should have a challenge of finding the site with most “friends”.
I’ve seen that on a couple video game news sites and am just fuck it, I won’t read the article then.
High-level polyamory.
Why would you even put the number at that point
Laws
Use Chrome enhanced privacy protection now.
That way it’ll just be one of their closest friends, who might coincidentally sell it to the other 755.
Do never use Chrome. Use Firefox based Browsers (Librewolf, Mull)
People forget the ad zap tool exists in ublock origin… Zap that dialogue box away.
