When you click on a link in the Facebook or #Instagram apps, the website loads in a special #browser built into the app, rather than your phone’s default browser. In 2022, #privacy researcher Felix Krause found that #Meta injects special “keylogging” #JavaScript onto the website you’re visiting that allows the company to #monitor everything you type and tap on, including passwords. Other apps including #TikTok do the same thing.
