CONFIRMED

We created the Openly Operated transparency standard because we saw that companies were basically outright lying in their Privacy Policies. Of course, many companies are closed source or headquartered offshore, so they're usually not caught. However, even with companies that were actually caught, there would rarely be any kind of penalties. Openly Operated is a way to force companies to provide *proof* of their transparency, rather than just asserting them. You can read about why we launched Openly Operated here... So we did what we felt was the right thing, and we built an app to fight back against the tracking. Since the tracking was happening in apps and not just the browser, normal ad-blockers wouldn't block them. Our solution was Lockdown, which blocks tracking, ads, and badware in all apps, not just the browser. Fast forward to today, over 1 million people have used Lockdown to block billions of tracking attempts... Lockdown does not buy Facebook ads, or tracking ads of any..
