Does anyone know how to prevent facebook (ep2.facebook.com) from tracking me when using the (3rd party) ABC iView app in Australia, which was installed from Apple’s App Store. This app streams the government owned ABC TV show broadcasts.
I have recently discovered that Facebook is tracking me when I use the iView app. When I check the Privacy and Security/ App Privacy Report, (listed under the iview app tracking report), ep2.facebook.com is listed as one of the connections that are made when using the iView App.
I have already enable the do not track settings, but I believe that prevents apps tracking other apps. The tracking I have discovered is happening within the ABC’S iVeiw app, not across 2 separate 3rd party apps.
I did try accessing the app via a VPN to obfuscate my IP address, but then the iView App refuses to stream the show unfortunately. Basically I am wanting to learn if there is a way to prevent this insidious form of US corporate surveillance on an iPad running iPadOS 27.0.1, which is stealthily tracking users within Australia when using this Australian Govt iView app?
I would truly appreciate it if someone could help me regain a vestige of privacy by being able to block the Facebook tracker permanently?
