    Facebook is Lifelog. It was never cancelled.

    Cloudflare is Project Honeypot.

    I do not think it means much to trust Apple’s privacy theater, considering their Do Not Track button is bullshit (https://www.yahoo.com/news/former-apple-engineer-says-button-164452709.html), and their ad campaign against Facebook was just meant to create their own extra source of revenue. (https://twitter.com/PatrickMcGee_/status/1449608262492459011)

    I have a whole section on Apple at the start of my smartphone guide. If you really believe in Apple’s privacy theater, you are an idiot and blind too. Maybe it is a coping mechanism because you may own Apple devices, but it does not matter here.

      Would you mind pointing me to the smartphone guide?

      It’s not a paranoia measuring contest, but I’m decently noided out as well and was never able to find conclusive links between lifelog and Facebook aside from some insanely dubious coincidences. Even the tla -> Facebook pipeline shows all the signs of simply being administrative and security state assets revolving dooring into the private sector a-la iraq 2 just like they freely move from positions within the agencies of one administration or another to the rest of aang.

      I welcome new to me information though…

      I’m no fan of cloudflares dns, but the bot aimed project honeypot never bugged me. It always seemed as benign as a function of a group that makes money off internet shit running “good” (whatever that means) can be. Feel free to pill me on cloudflare though.

      As you correctly guessed, I do own and use Apple devices, and have developed for them. I am familiar with the way the do not track system works, and it is, as the article you linked states, possible to send and receive tracking data through channels outside of it. I actually used to use lockdown privacy, the program from the authors of that study, but switched to a dns blocker.

      It’s worth noting that since att was added to ios the line was publicly that trackers would be slowly pushed out. I noticed this myself when using lockdown privacy. Over time it would block fewer and fewer trackers not because they weren’t there, but because the ways apps were allowed to classify their data would narrow.

      I’d love to see the same people do that study now. Realizing I could be fine with a simple dns blocker was why I stopped using their product!

        Here. https://lemmy.ml/post/128667

        As you can see here, I founded a privacy community r/privatelife, now have c/privatelife on Lemmy since I decided to stop Reddit and pause the community indefinitely. I founded it to stop the nonsense western privacy communities allowed peddling in favour of or coping with Big Tech usage. I try to enforce the same things here to maintain a solid standard that otherwise barely existed.

        spoiler

        Granted I am no Shadow Wiki/digdeeper who hosts content on Tor and I2P about making HAM radios and stuff, but I bridge the gap, and we all know each other because very few people do authentic privacy and freedom work with honest intent. Most are incompetent, some do it for clout and are slimy.

        Zuckerberg called people dumbfu*ks for using his platform, and it being part of PRISM few years after Lifelog revelations seems to coincide too much with CIA backing. There should be links via CFR or Bilderberg or Trilateral Commission probably, and considering how Congress summon theatres are played out for Facebook or Google versus Tiktok, it is not too far fetched.

        As for Cloudflare, this will “pill” you. Many years ago, someone wrote it, and I ensure to carry this knowledge around. https://lemmy.ml/comment/84299
