Private #Browserfenster verhindern keine Identifikation im Netz.

Die #IP-Adresse und das Browser-#Fingerprinting ermöglichen weiterhin das Benutzer-#Tracking.

Wer wirkliche #Anonymität sucht, sollte auf Tools wie den #TorBrowser setzen. Doch auch der schützt nicht vor allen Gefahren.

@unusnemo @Christian_Freiherr_von_Wolff I don't use Tor to be anonymous. I use it as a tool for my privacy. I don't log into websites from it, I do my regular procrastination browsing from it, news reading on corporate websites and so forth.

It's great at preventing #fingerprinting Especially #Whonix with its #Kloak software that stops companies fingerinting your keyboard and mouse #DNA.

I use #Tor more as a STFU to data agencies.

Using #mullvad with #VPN is the nest best thing.

Fingerprinting: Critics say Google rules put profits over privacy

Changes which come in on Sunday permit so-called "fingerprinting", which allows online advertisers to collect more data about users including their IP addresses and information about their devices.

Google Expands Device Tracking Without Opt-Out

Google now enforces device tracking across platforms using "fingerprinting," collecting data like screen size and time zone to create unique user IDs. Despite criticizing this in 2019, it began enforcing the policy on Feb 16, 2024. Privacy advocates argue this limits user control. Users can reduce tracking by adjusting privacy settings, but full opt-out remains unavailable.

@homlett This is for the UK. In the EU fingerprinting is only allowed after consent: legalweb.io/en/news-en/browser

'Companies (others try it too) must ensure that the data collected through browser fingerprinting is necessary for the specific purpose and that the user has expressly consented to the data collection. This means companies need to be transparent about what types of data are being collected, for what purposes they are being used, and who has access to them.'

“[O]pponents to the change say fingerprinting and IP address collection are a blow to privacy”

“"The same tracking techniques that Google claims are essential for online #advertising also expose individuals' sensitive information to data #brokers, #surveillance companies, and law enforcement," [Lena Cohen, staff technologist at the EFF] added.”

"Privacy campaigners have called Google's new rules on tracking people online "a blatant disregard for user privacy."

Changes which come in on Sunday permit so-called "fingerprinting", which allows online advertisers to collect more data about users including their IP addresses and information about their devices.

Google says this data is already widely used by other companies, and it continues to encourage responsible data use.

However the company had previously come out strongly against this kind of data collection, saying in a 2019 blog that fingerprinting "subverts user choice and is wrong."

But in a post announcing the new rule changes, Google said the way people used the internet - such as devices like smart TVs and consoles - meant it was harder to target ads to users using conventional data collection, which users control with cookie consent."

Google has changed its policy and now permits the use of fingerprinting.

This practice, which is harder for users to control, has raised privacy concerns as it reduces users' choice and control over their data.

However, some browsers like Firefox and Brave offer fingerprinting protection features.

Wir alle hinterlassen online Fingerabdrücke doch Google ist extrem was es sammelt – lest den Artikel:

»Digitaler Fingerabdruck – Google hat eine neue Ära des Trackings eingeleitet, die schlimmer ist als Cookie-Banner:
Da Google Ihnen die Möglichkeit gibt, das Cookie-Tracking abzulehnen, beginnt es stillschweigend, Ihre Online-Gewohnheiten mit Fingerabdrücken zu erfassen.«

Text Shot: Google told the BBC in a statement: "Privacy-enhancing technologies offer new ways for our partners to succeed on emerging platforms... without compromising on user privacy." But opponents to the change say fingerprinting and IP address collection are a blow to privacy because it is harder for users to control what data is collected about them. "By allowing fingerprinting, Google has given itself - and the advertising industry it dominates - permission to use a form of tracking that people can't do much to stop," said Martin Thomson, distinguished engineer at Mozilla, a rival to Google.

Memo

@ganselmartin

Das ist ja bei mir ebenfalls der Fall (uraltes Konto).

Es schien mir damals auch eine gute Idee zu sein, Google zu nutzen. Biete es doch alles, was ich damals als sinnvoll erachtet habe. Vor allem war es ja auch sehr "bequem" 🙄

Und außer der Preisgabe der eigenen privaten Daten war es ja auch kostenlos ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Meine Entscheidung und die Abnabelung von Google (und vielen anderen "schnüffelnden" Anbietern), kam aber nicht von "heute auf morgen", sondern war eine längere Reise.

Mittlerweile glaube ich, dass ich (fast?) am Ende dieser Umstellungen bin, und mein Möglichstes getan habe, um meine eigenen Daten und meine Privatsphäre zu schützen.

Gut, meine Entscheidung meine Daten für mich zu behalten kostet(e) ein wenig, nicht nur Geld, sondern auch Arbeit, Zeit und Bequemlichkeit.

Da ich diesen Weg aber Schritt für Schritt gegangen bin, war die Umstellung für mich durchaus machbar 😀
