The article says in the title how that won't solve the problem. Their chief solution is guarding against invisible tracking pixels all over the web, and how using a properly equipped browser and extensions can hopefully mitigate them. I found the article's recommendation of suitable browsers to be quite poor: a brush off to Firefox and no mention of LibreWolf, IronFox, etc al.

Sorry, that will not work.

FTA:

“TikTok collects sensitive and potentially embarrassing information about you even if you've never used the app.”

I don't understand why such obvious bullshit serves any function whatsoever. If everyone knows it's bullshit, why is this better than saying "we violate your privacy as much as is legally possible, and sometimes more than that."

The real issue here is the word "users".

They're silently collecting very personal information, without permission, from people that not users.

You can't object to Tiktok collecting information about your mental health because you're not told they're collecting it in the first place.

Don't load images, or use GMail which loads images through a proxy.

Why are there IPs in a black hole “resolv” file? That’s not how those work, unless something’s changed in recent years.

I see no difference in the level of tracking in TikTok vs. any other app/advertiser. What that data gets used for is anyone's guess.
