TikTok tracks you across the web, even if you don’t use the app
The TikTok pixel is not actually a pixel like in the old days. It is not a 1x1 transparent image loaded from their servers. It is executable javascript code. All you have to do to stop 99% of the corporate spying is disable unsafe remote code execution.It's hard to believe I have to say that after the many decades of people getting it drilled into their heads "Do not open random email attachments" but here we are in a dark future where everyone is going to say not automatically running untrusted code is stupid and not a real option. It is. And it works.
