Google gets its way, bakes a user-tracking ad platform directly into Chrome

Chrome now directly tracks users, generates a "topic" list it shares with advertisers.

Did any user in the world want a user-tracking and ad platform baked directly into their browser? Probably not, but this is Google, and they control Chrome, and this probably still won't make people switch to Firefox.

Be one of the people who do switch, if you haven't already

Aarogya Setu has quickly become the world’s most-downloaded contact-tracing app. With over 100 million downloads on Android devices, it is expected to become part of the government’s future e-health related initiatives as well. Many have questioned the privacy implications associated with the app, which is capable of tracking users continuously. Open sourcing the app’s code is one of the things security experts have been asking for, but many say true open sourcing isn’t achieved unless the back-end code is also made available. The Central Information Commission (CIC) recently sought an explanation from the National Informatics Center (NIC) for evasive replies to a right to information request about who had made the app. The ministry of electronics and information technology (MeitY) later clarified the app had been developed by the NIC in collaboration with volunteers from industry and academia.

How Online Course Platforms Track Learners in 2022

Online course platforms closely track their learners. And things have gotten worse over the past two years.

If there’s something we’ve learned in the ten years we’ve been running Class Central, it’s how important digital marketing is in the strategy of online education platforms. Some of the largest ones spend millions every month on Google Ads.

These platforms tend to rely on third-party tools to learn more about their users and even target them through ad campaigns. But some of these tools can raise privacy concerns and allow big tech companies to follow you around the web.

So we decided put to the test popular online course platforms using Blacklight, the open-source privacy tool developed by Surya Mattu over at The Markup. We did it first in 2020, and we’re doing it again now, to see how things have changed.

Combined, these platforms receive 470M1 visits monthly, and they’ve raised billions of dollars in funding. Let’s see to what extent they track their learners.
