Audio is much easier to fingerprint and match against content.

Businesses won't tolerate something like this so I find it hard to believe there is any cooperation between the two entities.

10+ BT trackers using CF likely free tier. Low-end EACH 300-500 MILLION HTTP requests/24hr uncached, some exceed a billion reqs/day (using statistics from other open trackers) 20TB-40TB daily, ~1-3 Gbps sustained.

That's a crap load of transfer and compute to process those tiny network connections. As someone that's run a Tunnel on a normal site in the millions, the daemon uses a sizeable amount of CPU and I can't see any reason why it's not the same on the other end.

Whatever source CF has going on, kudos to them and their engineering team.

I don't particularly understand how CF makes money on it, with the many high traffic sites I have used that I know don't pay CF a dime. Tunnels adds so much more overhead in compute on both ends more than their normal CDN/proxy would.

Soon you won't be able to IoT network or block these devices as they begin to partner with Amazon and the likes that sell Internet for near-by IoT devices. Then your only option then is physically removing / de soldering radios from the board.

Laws needed, like yesterday.

> Not long until companies partner with Amazon and others to send traffic automatically through their near-by devices like smart speakers, disconnecting will be impossible.

Not surprised if this is happening already. I don't want to remove radios out my TV..

> Samba, a media intelligence company have several partnerships with manufacturers to take screenshots and collect metadata.

Viewer analytics are valuable to companies like Samba, they aren't the only ones. Laws ASAP, these companies will lobby hard to stop anything of the sort.

Vast majority won't know or care.

The way this gets fixed is laws not workarounds unfortunately.

I discovered this gem through Iroh.

Who the fuck invited them into the living room? They say it's optional and opt in but I really don't believe that.

Edit: it's called ACR and a much bigger problem then I originally thought. Wow.

They see everything that passes through their proxy, and if they wanted to perform analysis on a site they're interested in I really wouldn't be surprised if there's a clause in the ToS that allows them to do it.

I can't see any reason that passes the sniff test to say otherwise.
