A place to discuss privacy and freedom in the digital world.
Privacy has become a very important issue in modern society, with companies and governments constantly abusing their power, more and more people are waking up to the importance of digital privacy.
In this community everyone is welcome to post links and discuss topics related to privacy.
Some Rules
- Posting a link to a website containing tracking isn't great, if contents of the website are behind a paywall maybe copy them into the post
- Don't promote proprietary software
- Try to keep things on topic
- If you have a question, please try searching for previous discussions, maybe it has already been answered
- Reposts are fine, but should have at least a couple of weeks in between so that the post can reach a new audience
- Be nice :)

With a term that broad- how is anyone supposed to answer you?
In an app? On a website? Something you suspect the hardware might be doing?
Aha. It appears Google's release of android has that sort of functionality baked in. I wasn't aware of that.
Still, it seems out of scope for an operating system.
It looks like the EFF recommends some app called "AirGuard"- even over using the built in scanners.
You can get airguard from fdroid, and it does periodically scan for trackers in this way.
I haven't really dug into this, but AirGuards github page claims the app scans periodically and will give you a notification on suspicious results.
Your threat model seems... Interesting lol. Is there a high chance of people trying to aggressively plant a tracker on you when out in the open?
