? Avast’s double-dealing, Meta’s ‘smokescreen’ privacy fee, and push alerts risks: AdGuard's news digest

In today's edition:

? Avast becomes what it was called to protect from. Antivirus software maker Avast was found to have been selling its users’ browsing history to more than 100 third parties for years, without notice or consent. It must now pay $16.6 million in fines and is prohibited from further selling web browsing data for advertising purposes.

?‍♂️ Police tracks you over push notifications. Big Tech companies like Google, Apple, and Facebook not only collect your data with the help of push notifications, but also supply the police with related metadata. In its report, The Washington Post mentions over 130 search warrants for push notification metadata across the US alone.

? Pornhub is criticized for failing to protect its “models’” privacy. Canada’s privacy commissioner accused Pornhub’s parent company, Aylo, of failing to obtain necessary proof of consent from “models” to appear in uploaded pornographic materials. Such data mishandling is becoming especially scary in the age of high-quality AI deep fakes.
