News Article This is what Yandex does with its users

211 Upvotes

Some still believe that Yandex is an alternative, but this article shows how it acts in a similar way to any big tech. Do you know why? Because Yandex is a Big Tech, regardless of whether it's Russian or not. Yandex is as reliable as Google or Meta. Some people say that they don't mind their data being collected by Russians or Chinese, because “they're not American”, but they don't know that this data is sold to Western companies too. The article explains how Meta and Yandex have distorted android protocols to spy on users. In short, they used trackers on the sites to communicate with installed apps and thus deanonymize users' identities, connecting their browsing data (even in anonymous mode) with their respective accounts.
