facebook.tracking.exposed

Take a look at the website, or at a 24 minutes video explainig the concept, or a 15 pages .pdf reporting the results achieved in two years.

Architecture

The project is designed to serve open data and distributed analysis of the data obtained from the users. The server stores the user's data that receives raw from the browser extension.

Test if everything is working:

git clone https://github.com/tracking-exposed/facebook
cd facebook
npm i
npm run content:watch
DEBUG=* node\_modules/.bin/mocha test/testAPI.js

everything that doesn't work: ops! it should!

Play with the collected data

This is the framework developed to help your analysis: dashboard. You need a personal access token to retrieve your data. You can find this token in the personal summary page. You have access to this page from the browser extension.

Know about us, join us, and enjoy our contribution code of conduct

We start to improve the project communication and enlarge the opportunity to reach out (yep, this is our mattermost channel) , because one of the risk we should exclude ASAP, is that we are not really understood.

This is what we ask to our contributors, and what we demand from us:

Be friendly and patient

We understand that everyone has different levels of experience or knowledge in many diverse fields, be it technical or non-technical in nature. We also have areas of knowledge we are eager to expand; we want to be a community where people can not only contribute, but feel comfortable to ask questions as well and learn along the way. If someone says something wrong, or says something accidentally offensive, respond with patience and try to keep it polite and civil. Remember that we all were newbies at one point.

Be welcoming

We strive to be a community that welcomes and supports people of all backgrounds and identities. Everyone, like you, if someone join here is to work on tracking.exposed, This is what you have in common, please stay focus on that rather than any cultural, religious, psycological, behavioral differencies.

Be considerate

Your work will be used by other people, and you in turn will depend on the work of others. Any decision you make will affect users and colleagues, and you should take those consequences into account when making decisions. Remember that we’re a world-wide community, so you might not be communicating in someone else’s primary language.

Be respectful

Not all of us will agree all the time, but disagreement is no excuse for poor behavior and poor manners. We might all experience some frustration now and then, but we cannot allow that frustration to turn into a personal attack. It’s important to remember that a community where people feel uncomfortable or threatened is not a productive one. Members of the JS Foundation community should be respectful when dealing with other members as well as with people outside the JS Foundation community.

Be careful in the words that you choose

We are a community of professionals, and we conduct ourselves professionally. Be kind to others. Do not insult or put down other participants. Harassment and other exclusionary behavior aren’t acceptable. This includes, but is not limited to:

  • Violent threats or language directed against another person.
  • Discriminatory jokes and language.
  • Posting sexually explicit or violent material.
  • Posting (or threatening to post) other people’s personally identifying information (“doxing”).
  • Personal insults, especially those using racist or sexist terms.
  • Unwelcome sexual attention.
  • Advocating for, or encouraging, any of the above behavior.
  • Repeated harassment of others. In general, if someone asks you to stop, then stop.

When we disagree, try to understand why

Disagreements, both social and technical, happen all the time and JS Foundation projects are no exception. It is important that we resolve disagreements and differing views constructively. Remember that we’re different. The strength of the JS Foundation comes from its varied community, people from a wide range of backgrounds. Different people have different perspectives on issues. Being unable to understand why someone holds a viewpoint doesn’t mean that they’re wrong. Don’t forget that it is human to err and blaming each other doesn’t get us anywhere. Instead, focus on helping to resolve issues and learning from mistakes.
