Meta developed a tracking system called 'localhost tracking' that bypasses some Android protections.
This system allows Meta to track users even when they are using VPNs, incognito browsing, or refuse cookies.
Meta faces potential fines up to €32 billion under GDPR, DMA, and DSA regulations due to these privacy violations.
This tracking method links users' real identities to their web activities without explicit consent.
The violations impact a significant number of websites and have massive implications for user privacy.
