Thus, Project Ghostbusters was born. It’s Meta’s in-house wiretapping tool to spy on data analytics from Snapchat starting in 2016, later used on YouTube and Amazon. This involved creating “kits” that can be installed on iOS and Android devices, to intercept traffic for certain apps, according to the filings. This was described as a “man-in-the-middle” approach to get data on Facebook’s rivals, but users of Onavo were the “men in the middle.”
Isn’t that enough to throw all of their staff to the jail for an organized group crime? Oh of course they’re rich. Alright then nothing to see

They can get your info in other ways if you visit sites that have links to meta products on your phone. You probably know that though if you don’t have them on your phone, this is for others that don’t know.
Not if you isolate them to a single VM thats only ever used for Meta products
VM?
Virtual Machine
That site is so

Doesn’t Ublock Origin work on phones now?
Or AdAway to block it in all apps
It looks like it doesn’t work across the board, but thanks for the heads up: https://adaway.org/
Ads are not blocked when on mobile data connection!
AdAway will not work reliably when on Mobile Networks like 3G. You can deactivate that proxy by going to your selected APN (On Android 4: Wireless and networks -> More… -> Mobile Networks -> Access Point Names) and remove the value in the proxy field. Ads in Chrome are not blocked!
Interesting. I dont use Sim cards so I wouldn’t know
