Prasanna | பிரசன்னா ⁂<p><span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://mastodon.social/@Gargron" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@<span>Gargron</span></a></span> hey, thanks for the clarification. I found the reason why it happens. It appears that mastodon.social and concert.io are depending upon fastly.net for CDN services and hence there is an overlap of IP address which <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/TrackerControl" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>TrackerControl</span></a> identifies as an outgoing request to the Advertising portal concert.io.</p><p>Apologies for the trouble <span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://mastodon.social/@Gargron" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@<span>Gargron</span></a></span>. I will take this as an issue with <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/TrackerControl" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>TrackerControl</span></a> to see what can be done.</p>
Prasanna | பிரசன்னா ⁂<p>What's up with mastodon.social instance <span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://mastodon.social/@Gargron" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@<span>Gargron</span></a></span>?<br>Yesterday it was cdn.concert.io and today it's admanager.concert.io.</p><p>There is absolutely no explanation over why they are integrated with the instance. Once again thanks to <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/TrackerControl" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>TrackerControl</span></a> which exposed these integrations.</p><p>It's time to ditch the mastoson.social instance.</p><p><a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/Fediverse" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Fediverse</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/Ads" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Ads</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/Tracking" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Tracking</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/AdsInMastodonSocial" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>AdsInMastodonSocial</span></a></p>
Prasanna | பிரசன்னா ⁂<p>Since last night (IST), I wasn't able to access my account in mastodon.social. I tried with multiple apps and even opening mastodon.social in web browser timed out. I then checked status.mastodon.social which shows all green.</p><p>For a moment I suspected my ISP would be the culprit, but other devices in my network loads the site fine &amp; then I took a look at <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/TrackerControl" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>TrackerControl</span></a> which showed cdn.concert.io was blocked. This domain seems to be a new addition to the site. <span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://mastodon.social/@Gargron" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@<span>Gargron</span></a></span> care to explain? Ads?</p>
Marcos Dione<p>@Linux_Is_Best@misskey.de sorry, ads 8n WhatsApp? I have never seen one. Is it <a href="https://en.osm.town/tags/TrackerControl" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>TrackerControl</span></a>, that I live in Europe or something else?</p>

Børge<p>Jesus Christ. Something has happened so that <a href="https://tutoteket.no/tags/TrackerControl" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>TrackerControl</span></a> is getting turned off all the time, for seemingly no reason. I hate it so much, I feel insecure. Does anyone know what this could be, and how to fix it? I recently installed Snapchat, could that be it?</p>

Marcos Dione<p><span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://kind.social/@lactol" class="u-url mention">@<span>lactol</span></a></span> do you also use the VPN in your mobile devices? Have you thought of using something like <a href="https://en.osm.town/tags/TrackerControl" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>TrackerControl</span></a> to your apps do not spy so much on you?</p>
Marcos Dione<p><span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://mastodon.social/@mhoye" class="u-url mention">@<span>mhoye</span></a></span> from what I understand, for the moment it&#39;s an optional app. Meanwhile, even if it becomes a built-in app, you can always turn to privacy focused Android distros like <a href="https://en.osm.town/tags/LineageOS" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>LineageOS</span></a>. And/or you could disable the app and/or install something like <a href="https://en.osm.town/tags/TrackerControl" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>TrackerControl</span></a> and not allow the app to talk to Google.</p>
