    UPDATE: As of June 3rd 7:45 CEST, Meta/Facebook Pixel script is no
    longer sending any packets or requests to localhost. The code
    responsible for sending the _fbp cookie has been almost completely
    removed. Yandex has also stopped the practice we describe below.

    They probably switched to something else.

    Yes, but even if they didn't, Meta is clearly not interested in the
    law. You really don't want this stuff on your phone. Don't give them
    anything.

    That's why I don't even have a Meta account, let alone on my phone.

    It is quite naive to believe they really stopped their illegal and
    criminal activities. Too much money involved.

    Same here. Yandex? Putin's spies?

    And I hope Zuckerberg's activities get under permanent and thorough
    scrutiny in the EU with dire consequences in the case of non-compliance
    with EU-privacy laws.

    Richmond,

    Yes, but even if they didn't, Meta is clearly not interested in
    the law. You really don't want this stuff on your phone. Don't
    give them anything.

    But you have Googles Android on your phone (with their their ads-and-what-all-not-more supporting layer(s) ) ?

    IOW, trying to keep one thief outof your house doesn't mean much as long as
    you allow another thief to stay.

    Regards,
    Rudy Wieser.
