That's sort of a silly question to pose. That risk always there. It's just a question of estimating that risk. EU is rolling back GDPR, so I'd estimate that risk is getting lower every day.
To play devil's advocate, why should FANG be the only ones allowed to crap all over the public internet's privacy?

Timeline: 1. CEO posts product demo on LinkedIn 2. I analyze the landing page with Chrome DevTools 3. I post findings in comments (40+ cookies pre-consent, biometrics, etc.) 4. CEO blocks me within minutes
So I'm releasing the full evidence pack publicly: https://github.com/clark-prog/blackout-public
What I found: - Sardine.ai behavioral biometrics (mouse/typing patterns) firing before consent - PerimeterX device fingerprinting pre-consent - 118 unique tracking domains on a single page load - Base64-encoded config showing "enableBiometrics: true" - Formal partnership with Sardine (partnerId: "zoominfo")
The irony: ZoomInfo sells visitor identification tools but uses 3 external fingerprinting vendors on their own site.
All evidence is reproducible. HAR files, deobfuscated code, legal analysis included.
AMA about findings or methodology.

Looks like a service to do the kinds of scans mentioned. Note the punchlist of laws being broken.

Whos to say that they are making it so those 3 vendors work better together?
edit - Also I just know this is a EU dev who thinks if I build a really good product people will just buy.
