    Although completely believable and in-line knowing Meta/Facebook’s history, is there any evidence to support this claim? I’m sure it’s, unfortunately, just as easily deployed to specific targets so it may be hard to replicate, but this is pretty huge.

    Anyone have any links/sources?

    EDIT:

    Found the source post: https://mastodon.social/@protonmail/111699323585240444

    and the article: https://gizmodo.com/meet-link-history-facebook-s-new-way-to-track-the-we-1851134018

      I dug up this mastodon post and they cited this:

        I’m quite surprised Proton would use Gizmodo as a source. A quote from their articles first paragraph: “[as] Apple and Google beef up privacy”.

        I guess they mean all the tech companies try to block each other so that they collect all the data themselves…

      Yes, JavaScript injection tests come back with extra code when opened from within instagram.
