Targeted ads are once again not just a nuisance, but a security risk.

People in communities like this have been blocking connections to advertising and tracking networks for over a decade, how the hell did the US fucking military not figure out what a problem that could be until this year??

Hope everyone 🔖, and annoyingly demonstrate this to “you have nothing to ”

US military officials say they have disabled advertising trackers on a range of phones and computers, according to letters released on Friday by the US senator Ron Wyden and ⁠statements given to Reuters.

Someone should let those officials know that disabling and or refusing trackers is yet another way of tracking.

On troop's personal phones, or on government issued equipment?

Do you have a family member or friend serving in the military, and do you prefer sending handwritten letters or messages online? Staying in touch while someone is deployed can mean a lot, and Sandboxx reviews helps people send letters to service members. Its PissedConsumer reviews can also give you an idea of other users’ experiences with delivery times and the service.

Oh, but it's perfectly safe for everyone else.

Oh I see, the military is allowed to have ad-tracking disabled but when I have an adversarial noise generator running to produce alternative ad profiles and obfuscate my person from my device I'm a "terrorist" and "won't be allowed back in the country if I leave"

/s

Why does any military, anywhere, allow any software on its devices that it doesn't have the source code for, including ability to compile and modify it?! Disabling "advertising trackers" is a small first step, yeah…

I cant believe how all these officials just have random malware android.

Like, GrapheneOS is free XD
