It wants to spy on your local network and snoop on mqtt and things like that. The facebook mobile app does it by default.

When you browse most big websites, you are normally pushed to download their app. Apps allow them to gather so much more information than when you use their website. So, stick to using websites, this includes here on Reddit!

Hah, this explains why browsing AliExpress webpage on an iPhone ain't possible at all.

I use AliExpress on Firefox but it's extremely sensitive with add-ons  I use a few privacy and ad block extensions and AliExpress breaks quite often.

probably because they provided no source and it's probably not true.

They might have cracked down on this, it has been a few years since I monitored it with wireshark

Late to the party but...does client isolation help with this?

Yeah, there are many ways to isolate things. Personally I just have isolated subnets, firewall rules and DNS blocklists. Also, user and password for MQTT access.

Tracking behavioural patterns mainly. Combined with other data it can paint a picture. They are only reading the states of entities, not changing them.
