Meta Pixel and the Android Loop

Introduction

Over the years, tech users have grown numb to the idea that some degree of tracking is inevitable. But a recent discovery has shaken that norm. Meta (Facebook’s parent company) used a clever technical loophole to bypass fundamental privacy boundaries on Android devices, effectively tracking users across websites even when they used incognito mode, VPNs, or thought they were browsing privately.

This new revelation isn’t just a concern for individual users; it’s a wake-up call for businesses that rely on tracking tools like the Meta Pixel and a red flag for any company that takes user trust and data security seriously.
