They are not “sending” this information to Facebook. They are SELLING it to Facebook.

3. Build database of private information
4. ????

In chat for another article about this, someone suggested that an adblocker may have offered some protection against this. Does anyone know about that?

>> A spokesman for Facebook parent company Meta...said... “Our system is designed to filter out potentially sensitive data it is able to detect.”
HAHAHAHAHA! I’m cryin’ here. Of course it’s “designed” to “filter” sensitive data it’s able to detect. And divert it to your file.
Zuckerboy has spent his life building trust and credibility and thereby earning your faith in his pure motives.

You are right, sir.
I haven’t noticed any regular traffic on my GlassWire while I’m using their desktop app, but I’m sure they’re competent and sneaky enough to pull it off without me knowing.
