You signed the agreement, now we get EVERYTHING! I recently enabled duckduckgo’s app tracking protection and it has been eye opening. In the past 7 days it’s blocked 4200+ tracking attempts.
12,627 blocked attempts for me in the last 7 days. The worst offenders are MLB app, and Sync. At least I’m using Sync. I haven’t opened the MLB app in over a week, but it has still tried to report personal information about me up to 762 times per day.
Useful services like Real Debrid need a credit card, but nothing a virtual card (from Privacy.com or similar) can’t solve. I think there’s other ways to pay too.
Also, I’m pretty sure this ad is targeting IPTV services, which are almost all paid services. There’s a big IPTV crackdown underway in several European countries at the moment.

Like Legal Streaming sites don’t steal your data without you knowing
Ill trust 100 shady sites over a paid service that is obligated to spy on me.

Came here to say exactly this.
I’d trust the piracy sites more actually. We don’t voluntarily give them our credit card and address.
