About the ads thing in 128 https://lemmy.zip/post/19041754
what I’ve seen so far is that the heat isn’t against the API, it’s against it being shipped enabled by default (opt-out rather than opt-in)
That’s a requirement of being usable however. It has to be the default.
This would very likely be considered anonymized data, which means it is not personal data and the GDPR does not apply.
@Ephera nonsense. Clearly possibilities for Facebook, who invented this, to show everyone a unique enough ad, that even with mixing and smudging in the 3rd party reporter, they can tell you clicked it, because you are in a cohort of one, even if the ad reporting service says 100 slightly different people did it.
Since you know this with such certainty, you should sue them.
it’s not personal, though. that’s the point
From my understanding this is only a value add in terms of privacy? It’s basically just asking every site to use this more private form of attribution, so I don’t believe there’s any more personal data being collected, it’s just trying to send it in a more anonymized way if a given site supports it.
