Ask HN: Meta's 'Localhost Tracking on Android'

#1
Meta was caught secrectly tracking Android users. Between September 2024 and June 2025, Meta exploited Android's localhost to connect users’ mobile web browsing to their Facebook and Instagram profiles.

I know they stopped doing it when it got public. But are they punished for that? Can't find much on internet about the current status.
