@aral Please find me a technology big tech is involved with that we are not funding actual alternatives to. Any form of proprietary lock-in is something we target to remove, anything that invades privacy needs to be stopped/mitigated (think #NoScript, #JShelter, #Offen.dev, #Goatcounter, #TrackingTheTrackers, #Searx, #Qubes, #SpectrumOS, etc). That is our contribution. Obviously, the trillion dollar surveillance economy needs to be curbed by harsh regulation, but this is not within our remit...

We've identified two new, easy data points for #TrackingTheTrackers, and are already applying them to @fdroidorg They can be added to @exodus Looking forward to seeing what others do with this! https://guardianproject.info/2020/12/15/new-data-sources-api-key-identifiers-and-broadcastreceiver-declarations/

@exodus's ETIP database is the canonical place for #TrackingTheTrackers on #Android, @guardianproject, @fdroidorg @privacylab and others all contribute there, join us! https://guardianproject.info/2020/12/11/%CE%B5xodus-etip-the-canonical-database-for-tracking-trackers/

#tracking users and usage is an essential element of data analytics, so what exactly is tracking? Here is our first attempt at an overarching definition:

#TrackingTheTrackers I'm digging into tools these days, #faup provides lookups if a string is a known domain name, and #ipgrep returns all strings that resolve to an IP address. The #ipgrep approach seems much more useful since it doesn't need a pre-prepared list of "known domain names", instead #DNS provides that

anyone ever seen a #maven API that lets you query by SHA256? Like start with the hash of a JAR, then see which repos it is on? #TrackingTheTrackers
