   As I warned about months ago now, I can confirm that Google Chrome's #AI API is now actively being used for device fingerprinting and tracking purposes.

   Out of 100 of the top global english language content sites - around 30% are actively using the API for fingerprinting, Google Advertising (profiling) or both) without the legally required consent (EU law).

     @thatprivacyguy There isn't a single piece of information that isn't actively being exploited for fingerprinting. Canvas. Browser plugins. Zoom levels. Screen resolutions. Everything.

     But banning children from the internet is somehow the answer, instead of locking up these spyware fanatics.
