That tracks about everything it possibly can just for the sake of it. I despise Meta so much...

The list is just a list.

The VPN just blocked requests to Facebook domains and it says that it might have contained that data. But it has no idea what data was inside. Maybe was filled with tracking or maybe it was just requesting something else

This checks literally every vector the app could collect data from.

I am also trying DDG app tracker out. This is what I got after opening Simcity Buildit. Not really surprised, because Fuck EA, but some of the requests might be the linking of account. Still, 930-- damnnnnn.

excruciatingly long list with many corporations
