@jon Regulation can work while simultaneously building permissionless #freedomtech that defeats surveillance techniques like #fingerprinting. I love the work #HydraVeil and #Nym are doing in this regard.

Scientific study finds that #adtech IS using browser #fingerprinting to track people and so it no longer matters so much how good you are at blocking #cookies and #trackers 😒

They call on browser makers to do more. @jon is your team putting effort into this area?

@johnnyryan I suggest this area is added to your investigations since it is linked to the #RTB system and #databrokers 🙏

BBC: Critics say new Google rules put profits over privacy. “Privacy campaigners have called Google’s new rules on tracking people online ‘a blatant disregard for user privacy.’ Changes which come in on Sunday permit so-called “fingerprinting”, which allows online advertisers to collect more data about users including their IP addresses and information about their devices.”

So, summarizing my feed the last few weeks: #Chrome is bad, #Firefox is bad. #Brave is evil, #Opera is a disaster, and #Ladybug is misogynistic and transphobic.

Anything I should know about #Vivaldi? They're still good, right?

@oblomov My initial gut reaction was the same. And I still think it may be wise to opt out of this experiment until it is better understood.

But what if this initiative could indeed serve as a privacy-preserving replacement for #tracking? It looks better than all the terrible ideas Google came up with to replace cookies (#FLoC #PrivacySandbox #TopicsAPI) let alone #browserFingerprinting.

Here is my take on Mozilla's #privacyPreservingAttribution aka #privateAttribution: https://suma-ev.social/@christian/112761712837712799
