↳ In-reply-to » Just realized that phone came with a bunch of “hidden” Meta/Facebook services pre-installed and they cannot be uninstalled, so I guess me trying to “fight” WhatsApp is pointless anyway. 🤪

@prologic@twtxt.net I guess I’m more “strict” than you are, probably. DNS queries tell me very little about which data is actually sent to those servers.

On the other hand, this is probably a reasonable argument: The vast majority of users have no idea what a DNS query even is (and they don’t care to begin with), so trying to hide something here is probably not worth the effort for Google/Apple. This would make filtering DNS requests more meaningful after all.

(But you can’t be sure and that is driving me nuts. I don’t want to deal with this in the first place.)
