@n_dimension @dangoodin The jscrambler site seems to be saying that the "pixels" are actually programs that felch PII right off the pages where they exist.
IDK what to think about that. Clearly the websites including that Tiktok/Meta code are allowing it and are in effect "sharing data with our partners". That points to a general and massive cultural failure in IT, not the least of which is the browser architecture that would allow 3rd party scripts to do this.
