How Facebook Intercepts Your Web Traffic

In this video I discuss how Facebook has been intercepting and decrypting your private data sent to apps that have nothing to do with Facebook over the years and how anyone else doing this kind of man in the middle attack would be facing prison time, but Facebook execs get special privileges.

The act of collecting data of private individuals and other organizations should be considered hostile activity. It should be treated like foreign surveillance of a sovereign nation. And the government should be protecting the rights of its population.

[@synchronicity1117]

I think there should be a balance, for example when you agree to privacy policies - "third party" is so vague. They should be legally required to be transparent about who every single third party is and have entire open sourced technical documentation on how each third party and themselves finds and uses that data. I know most people do not read the policies but I usually do and they are extremely vague yet intentially annoying to read. For example youtube: I know they use basically every single mouse movement as a potential data source (well not know) but to me I am okay with what I do know because over the years youtube and google have helped me learn massive amounts of information. So from what I think I know I am 99.9% content with them using my data but I would like transparency to know what I don't know

I’m in the early phases of studying for my CompTIA Security+ cert so I could be wrong, but this sounds like an SSL Stripping attack.

Thank you for bringing this story 👍

I can't believe a revelation like this doesn't cause a gigantic shitstorm.

[@CoreDump451]

If a normal person does anything like this, they will go to prison for years, but I guess no one from meta will

That's crazy bruh, this why u gotta research your VPN service

[@snorman1911]

And don't use anything Israeli.

[@spaghettiking653]

[@ra2enjoyer708]

How are you going to do it though? By design VPNs are supposed to be opaque black boxes, the only way you can "research" them if the VPN provider got busted after the fact.

Each video you make I find out more and more how predatory companies can be. I've always known it and tried to avoid spooky stuff, so Im scared someday you're gonna post a video on how bitwarden or some shit gets hacked. I have faith it won't, but yknow.

[@JordanPlayz158]

Luckily you can use Vaultwarden and run a bitwarden instance yourself :)

I would say donation based open source - pay and contribute what you can when you can

Thanks for another actual informative and useful video. Better get the good stuff while I can before they target your channel next 😆🤐

this is sinister and shameless. I shouldn't be surprised, but it's so bold and outright, I still am.

Well, I am not that surprised. Unlucky, that the punishment was so insignificant. Thanks for the video!

[@bartech101]

I'm always wondering who are the people that work on those codebases? Are those developers so spineless? Imagine ending your work day and think "I feel good, knowing I'm making the world worse place"

Help me out, onavo was the trojan for meta or could they still get to users without it?

[@tiaanbasson9092]

What makes it worse is that it's not just localised to the U.S, they do it in foreign countries as well. I don't even use Facebook and have seen the trackers all over the web by watching the developer tools, despite using blockers.

[@implozia1360]

I can't believe deleting the pre-installed FB apps as soon as I open a newly bough phone for almost a decade pays off like this. Thank you for this!

[@xyphur]

It's cute that you think 'deleting' a baked-in app from a retail device stops it from running, let alone actually removes it from said device.

[@S79573]

If you watch this at 1.5x speed, it sounds like real human speech.

Facebook-" 1 Hacker way " I do hate to state the obvious here 👀🤔🤣

[@chind0na]

Someone in my household doesn’t have the VPN installed. However, ads and FB post are very precise and tailored to what is said around that phone. I thought it was because that FB acct was used in a Samsung. We got an eyePhone😅 and it still spies.

[@arp_catchall]

Thanks for the great info. where can I download the hosts file you show towards the end of your video?

I really wish you would put a lit of references in your description instead of just linking your wallets

“Israeli based” it really is every single time…

[@MGRay-xq8eh]

Filtering DNS is a good start but to make sure a mobile app does not override your DNS settings, it is also better to use a browser rather than an app when possible.

[@meritamity]

I think that's one reason Firefox has the 'Facebook Container' addon. I think other browsers have the option too.

[@user-wg2vw3mz1v]

...and to think people made fun of me when I would strictly use Facebook through their website, refusing to install any of their apps. Hope it was worth it, normies!

[@jamesallen8287]

ok and you are still connecting to their servers

[@Fantaztig]

Irrelevant because the Facebook app is not the culprit here

[@garygranato9164]
