Former Google engineer Tim Libert has unveiled a new tool this week that aims to help users detect privacy violations on the Internet. The tool allows users to track which websites are collecting data on them and where that data is being sent.
Libert started his research on this issue in 2012 while studying at the University of Pennsylvania. He discovered that tech giants like Google, Microsoft, and Facebook were monitoring user activity online and gathering vast amounts of data without the users’ knowledge or consent. This led to widespread concerns about breaches of privacy.
