**"A joint investigation by Vice News and PCMag in January 2020 revealed that Jumpshot was selling the highly sensitive web browsing data to companies, including Google, Yelp, Microsoft, Home Depot, and consulting giant McKinsey. The reports found Jumpshot was also selling access to its users’ click data, including the specific web links that its users were clicking on.

At the time, Avast had more than 430 million active users worldwide. Jumpshot said it had access to data from 100 million devices.

Avast shuttered its Jumpshot subsidiary days following the joint Vice-PCMag report."**

old outdated news

Imagine the grocery bill!

Imagine purposefully giving a mewling quim like JACK direct access to your data ever again, just to sell it all to Elon Musk, again, again. People are in fact, sheep.

When it was shown that Zuck was actively undermining American Democracy, without care for consequence, I deleted my Facebook account, have never used it’s messenger, don’t Insta or META anything ever. Same with Twitter, I mean, why would you choose to contribute anything to these monsters … so you can stay in touch with high school friends you never chat, call or speak to?

Imagine after the Twitter debacle, choosing to give a mewling quim like JACK access to your data ever again, lol

like everything it’s all in the timing

Ad Blocking is Cyber Security, never ever let anyone convince you differently

My impression is the thing with modern day ad tracking, selling information to spammers, and hackers is, even if you secure your browser tighter than a drum, any one of your browser extensions, which we’ve given permission to read all site data on every site you visit and interact with, could be keeping extensive logs on your activity and selling that away to the highest bidder. Am I understanding that right?

thanks for the tip, i’m already on firefox, but when run it said i had “some protection” for both blocking tracking ads, and blocking invisible trackers, added privacy badgers after reading your post, because why not, and now it says YES for both

17.54 bits of identifying information tho :0

now tell em where whales come from

yeah? and so he’s a republican. what else ya got, none of this is surprising, and after the last 7 years, in any way any more frightening than it’s been to this point. we vote democrat, and we tell our friends and family to vote democrat, and we hope we can hold the line, and push it back a bit. i mean, we lost roe. what american women are doing going to work, raising families, going home to prepare meals, and just you know going on with their lives when the fundamental right to ownership over their own reproductive systems was legislated away, is beyond beyond understanding.
