The latest update for the popular Nova Launcher app includes Facebook Ads and Google AdMob.

Compare 8.2.4: https://reports.exodus-privacy.eu.org/en/reports/698198/

With 8.1.6: https://reports.exodus-privacy.eu.org/en/reports/673643/

From 2 trackers to 6 trackers. From 30 permissions to 36. And two of the “trackers” are for ad stuff, like Facebook Ads.

I believe the owner also changed. It’s no longer Branch, but something called Instabridge Sweden.

    Stop, stop, stop, hold up. Which libre software license text file was it released under, none? So, we never controlled it.

    We saw what happened with Reddit and now this. Go check every app on your device for a libre license, now.

    If they scam you like this a 3rd time, you deserve it, lmao.
