This should be up top. I wish I could prioritise comments with keywords in voyager.
I’m super curious what keyword would have helped here?
web.archive.org and theverge.com, reuyers.com, etc. a regular expression would be even better

The "cloud" gambit worked after all.
Lol. Surprise!
And, no one is surprised. Or, at least, no one should be.
The only way to have some solid privacy on the internet is TOR. At least for the moment. You can use TOR to browse non onion sites, but many sites are completely broken now without Javascript. If you enable javascript on TOR you might as well just use Chrome.
Privacy in phone apps is not a thing, that's the whole point of phone apps, to monetize your data.
Hmmm. Might be time to put it in "Island" - or at least only give it specific photo access.
Same with WhatsApp. Just have to get used to sharing to the app rather than from the app.
If you have any Zuckerberg products installed on your phone, all of your browsing behavior is being tracked. These apps should never be installed.
That's why I suggested 'island' since it's pretty close to a sandbox for those apps.
As far as iPhone goes, you can make it so it only spies on this specific app.

The method revealed in my comment's link bypasses app permissions in the phone OS.
Ah good point with WhatsApp. I'm going to check those permissions right now (unfortunately I can't afford not using it)
