Within 5 minutes of usage my pihole instance blocked 100s of request and DDG app protection blocked facebook trackers. This should be illegal

Sounds like they found their life easier by just not bothering with EU. Now I wonder, what kind of result you would’ve gotten if they had decided to try and comply enough so that GDPR wouldn’t crucify them again.

Likely they’ll continue to do the same with gdpr, just make you click through a dark pattern agreement popup.

That’s the fun part! GDPR requires these things to be clear and whatever waiver you sign doesn’t hold.

Rotation and accelerometer data? So they want to know how you hold the phone in your hand when using the app? lol

Probably meant to be a way to estimate where you are if you have GPS turned off

iirc Google uses motion data to track if you’re walking, biking, car, etc, so I wouldn’t be surprised if Facebook/Meta did the same.
