We are excited to announce Lockdown 2.0. With a more efficient blocking engine you can advance your protection. Now, you can import and export block lists, create custom groups and access more advanced curated block lists (e.g. TikTok, iFunny, Junes Journey and more)!
In 2022, we asked ourselves: “How do we scale Lockdown to 10 million users while continuing to build more?” We’re excited to announce that we’ve found a partner with the same vision and resources to make Lockdown 2.0 a reality. Check out our post here: blog.lockdownprivacy.com/2023/02/23/Loc…
We looked into the privacy and third-party exposure of popular habit-tracking apps in the App Store, as part of our mission to bring transparency to apps and to protect consumers. Reporting by @Tatum_Hunter_: washingtonpost.com/technology/202…
NEW STUDY: Sites that are built with using website builders like Webflow may unintentionally sacrifice user privacy (sharing of health-related data) and safety in exchange for convenience and speed. Thanks to @protocol for reaching out to us for this important research.

Corporate surveillance goes deeper than targeted ads, says @washingtonpost’s @Tatum_Hunter_ . “It gets a lot scarier,” she says, when authorities try to access the digital trails of users collected by companies. #Velshi
this finding was by @lockdown_hq, which makes an app that can block marketing trackers. After the Post published Lockdown’s observations, Planned Parenthood suspended use of the trackers on sensitive pages.

✅ New Audit — February 2022 ✅ Lockdown Privacy passed audits for the fourth time to confirm its security and privacy claims. Over 750 source code references were verified by independent engineers and experts. ⬇️ View the full OpenAudit ⬇️ openaudit.com/lockdownprivacy
iOS's App Privacy Report is a good start for tracker transparency. But it doesn't actually block the trackers, like Lockdown Privacy has been doing for years. Our CTO Johnny Lin explains via @washingtonpost: washingtonpost.com/technology/202…
🆕➡️Lockdown is now optimized for Apple Silicon, significantly increasing its reliability and performance on macOS.🔒💻 Look for the latest v1.2.5 update, rolling out now on the Mac App Store.
Let’s talk Big Tech accountability: @Tatum_Hunter_ & I sent Apple evidence gathered by @lockdown_hq of apps continuing to snoop after users tap “Ask App not to track.” They were taking GOBS of data. Apple’s response: Crickets. washingtonpost.com/technology/202…
Does iOS 14's App Tracking Transparency protect you from trackers? ❌ Nope. In our new Privacy Review of Yelp 🍕, even though we explicitly requested "Do Not Track", Lockdown Privacy blocked 5 third party trackers that iOS 14 was useless in stopping. privacyreview.co/yelp
All of Apple's operating systems, services, apps are 100% closed source with zero transparency or independent audits. This is what lets them get away with claiming privacy in public, while secretly abusing your data. Apple can be open source, but they refuse to do it. Why? 🤔
Introducing OpenAudit🟡, a platform that lets anyone prove & verify their claims. For example, instead of blindly trusting Privacy Policies, apps can now *prove* their privacy claims— which is what we did for the recent OpenAudit of Lockdown. Read more: blog.lockdownprivacy.com/2021/05/26/apr…
New on @Forbes Apple’s iOS 14.5 was meant to be a huge update for privacy. But it’s been far from the Big Bang everyone expected. Here’s what’s happening and why. Thanks @mysk_co and @lockdown_hq. With @TalkingCyber video. forbes.com/sites/kateofla…
