It seems like the only thing that separates what Facebook is doing from most other ad and tracker networks is just sheer volume.
It’s insane how many trackers ‘modern’ websites embed that exist to track you around the web. A typical site may have several trackers doing the same thing depending on advertiser agreements and sanity checks if there’s discrepancies in volume.
As someone whose transitioned to working more in media now, I still struggle to see the benefits many of these trackers promise.
I’m at the point now where I only allow a few sites to set and store cookies, while I run a Pihole, Noscript and Ublock. Even then, stuff manages to leak through.
