Facebook Watches Teens Online As They Prep for College – The Markup
An investigation by The Markup found Meta’s pixel tracking students from kindergarten to college
"After signing into their ACT account, if a student accepted cookies on the following page, Facebook received details on almost everything they clicked on—including scrambled but identifiable data like their first and last name, and whether they’re registering for the ACT. The site even registered clicks about a student’s ethnicity and gender, and whether they planned to request college financial aid or needed accommodations for a disability"
Will our government ever care about this shit and make it illegal one day?
They do care about this shit. It's relentless, warrantless surveillance they have access to.
Spooky facebook doing spooky things
Gotta see what demographics are doing what so they can hoard power, wealth, status.
How can we block this kind of tracking?
Ublock origin and Facebook Container are a good start. I would recommend having a look through the most upvoted posts of this sub as well.
I don't think this is necessary anymore with total cookie protection being enabled by default https://blog.mozilla.org/en/products/firefox/firefox-rolls-out-total-cookie-protection-by-default-to-all-users-worldwide/
