    1. Android wallpaper fingerprints
      Uniquely identifying users so that they can be tracked as they go about their business on the internet is, sadly, a major goal for advertisers and others today. Web browser cookies provide a fairly well-known avenue for tracking users as they traverse various web sites, but mobile apps are not browsers, so that mechanism is not available. As it turns out, though, there are ways to "fingerprint" Android devices—and likely those of other mobile platforms—so that the device owners can be tracked as they hop between their apps.
    2. How Android Wallpaper Images Can Threaten Your Privacy
      Android 12 features Material You, a new UI theming system based on color extraction. Find out how this feature jeopardizes user privacy and what you can do to protect yourself.

    • Purism

    We have joined the #fediverse! We chose @purism since they are doing good things with #FreeSoftware, hardware designed for it, and services designed around #privacy with anti-harassment in mind. Also, since this is a public account, it makes sense that this instance is only public posts. https://puri.sm/posts/opt-in-no-ads-and-no-tracking-solve-a-lot-of-problems-in-society/
