Meta has been rewriting websites that Facebook and Instagram users visit to trace them across the internet. Users who click links inside Facebook or Instagram are taken to webpages in an “in-app browser”, rather than using Google Chrome or Safari. This allows the company to monitor everything that happens on external websites without needing user consent or the consent of the website. Smartphone companies have been implementing methods to block websites from tracking users around the web. Do you think that this is an invasion on people’s privacy ?
