@AAKL @dmarti if they put in core code/libraries. it could. Depends on how it set up. if it's a config option based or isolated enough they can likely remove it like some of the other customizations they have done. if it's like a fungus root system scattered into everything that may be more of a problem to disable or remove.

@ppb1701 @dmarti Fungus root system? Kinda like Meta. Once it's in, it's in.

@ppb1701 @AAKL Probably easier to stuff the attribution tracking system with bogus data than to remove it entirely. Still trying to figure out if it's possible to do this in a way that makes embarrassing sites show up on some advertiser's report
