Just enabled DDG’s app track protection to test it out. Had Nekogram opened for a few mins, and Google already made 234 data collection attempts. I know the Big Guys are hungry for personal data, but this is absolutely ridiculous.

    This is most likely because the app keeps retrying. If it were successful, the number would be much lower.

      Probably yes, I see this as well on my pihole…some devices/apps run amok if they can’t reach their home and send multiple requests per second
