This report has a reviewed clarification

SBL-CORR-2026-001: The historical input-probe disclosure overstates coverage. Unload-only transmissions were not reliably recorded. Focus and blur handlers could run, and per-field failures were not fully counted. These reports cannot establish absence of input transmission outside their retained observations.

Worth checking

Bottom line: this visit has review-worthy signals

The scan observed signals a non-expert should not have to decode from raw request tables.

The cards below translate the evidence into plain language; severity reflects fixed reference thresholds, not measured population percentiles. The request log, domain table, and methodology remain below for verification.

26 requests observed in one controlled visit.

Context

2 of 23 requests the engine evaluated matched Brave Shields filter lists

2 requests matched the default filter lists of Brave Shields, the ad and tracker blocker built into the Brave browser, while loading normally.

Computed with Brave's own ad-block engine and default filter lists in classification mode: matched requests were not blocked by the scanner and remain in this report's observed request counts. Matching shows what Shields would target on this visit's traffic; an actual Shields visit blocks these and also prevents their follow-on requests, so this number is neither a measured block count nor the total effect.

The hand-curated service catalog separately matched 0 request rows in this visit.Show matched requests

Context

This GPC comparison supports no comparable delta

The pair did not record the network egress region for both visits, and an unrecorded condition never counts as matching.

The raw request logs of both visits remain below for transparency, but the diff between them supports no claim about what the compared condition changed.

1 disqualifying condition named by the report's claim policy.

Context

Privacy policy read; it made no statement this scan can check

None of the statements this scan knows how to check appear in the policy text, so nothing was compared against this visit's evidence (no catalogued tracking companies observed to check against it). That is a limit of the automated check, not a finding about the site either way.

Statements checked automatically: blanket no-cookie claims, third-party-cookie claims, and combined do-not-sell-or-share claims against advertising-pixel identifier fields. Global Privacy Control claims are never checked against request counts, which cannot show whether selling or sharing stopped.

Policy at https://www.facebook.com/privacy/policy; 0 checkable statements matched; no catalogued tracking companies observed to check against it.

Context

No known services matched

This scan did not match any third-party domains to the service catalog or another identity source.

No known operator or catalog entity was matched. This scan could not identify 2 of the 2 third-party hosts recorded here, so it cannot say who operates them. That is a limit of identity coverage, not evidence about the site.

Nothing observed

No requests to major-platform domains were recorded

No requests to catalogued Google, Meta, TikTok, X, Microsoft, LinkedIn, or Pinterest domains were observed in this visit.

Major-platform domains were not observed in this single passive visit; interaction-gated requests could still load for real users.

No third-party cookies observed

The automated visit did not observe third-party cookies.

This does not prove the site never uses cookies; it means this visit did not observe third-party cookies.

Context

Input-monitoring signal involving a script from another domain

Listener coverage that could observe typing-related input events was registered through call chains that included a script served from another registrable domain, whose operator this scan did not establish.

This is a behavioral instrumentation signal from listener registration, stack-attributed script origins, and known-vendor requests: it shows the page was instrumented to observe interaction, not that anything was transmitted. Stack attribution records the script origins present in the bounded registration call chain; a cross-site origin in that chain does not by itself establish that the cross-site script registered the listener, because first-party code can register its own listeners through a helper served from elsewhere. A different registrable domain is also not by itself a different operator: sites commonly serve their own scripts from a separate asset domain, so the card says third party only when the catalog or reviewed ownership attributes an origin to another organization. On scanners that run the active keystroke-capture probe, actual transmission is tested separately (a synthetic value is typed, never real input, and no typed values are collected); treat this card as a review prompt rather than proof.

62 interaction-listener registrations with https://static.*.fbcdn.net/ in the registration call chain and 21 input-listener registrations with https://static.*.fbcdn.net/ in the registration call chain

Worth checking

Behavioral fingerprinting heuristics matched

3 behavioral heuristics matched: Canvas fingerprinting heuristic, Canvas font probing heuristic and WebGL entropy-read heuristic.

These heuristics look for behavior patterns such as canvas readback after drawing, repeated canvas font measurement, WebGL entropy reads, offline audio rendering, or WebRTC peer-connection setup. They are review prompts for this visit, not proof of cross-site identity tracking.

2 canvases matched; reads: canvas.toDataURL, 86 measureText calls across up to 62 fonts; measured text contents are not stored and 34 parameter reads and 1 pixel readback; parameters: webgl.getParameter.UNMASKED_RENDERER_WEBGL, webgl.getParameter.UNMASKED_VENDOR_WEBGL and webgl2.getParameter.UNMASKED_RENDERER_WEBGL, plus 1 other

GPC Comparison

GPC off and GPC on: two visits, no comparable metric delta

GPC off: 7,254msGPC on: 7,518ms
No metric deltas are comparable across these two visits, so none are shown.
  • Request, cookie, and storage deltas (each visit's own evidence still renders below): The pair did not record the network egress region for both visits, and an unrecorded condition never counts as matching.
  • Catalog-matched request and entity deltas (each visit's own evidence still renders below): The pair did not record the network egress region for both visits, and an unrecorded condition never counts as matching.
  • Other detector and causal-path deltas (each visit's own evidence still renders below): The pair did not record the network egress region for both visits, and an unrecorded condition never counts as matching.
  • The Shields-number delta (each visit's own evidence still renders below): The pair did not record the network egress region for both visits, and an unrecorded condition never counts as matching.
  • Fingerprinting deltas (each visit's own evidence still renders below): At least one visit did not complete the fingerprint measurement, so no exact cross-visit delta is shown.
  • Ad-pixel deltas (each visit's own evidence still renders below): At least one visit did not complete the pixel measurement, so no exact cross-visit delta is shown.

Measurement limits

4 conditions affect how this evidence reads

Both visits

  • Each visit in this report is one automated, headless Chromium visit from a fixed en-US / UTC profile, with no scrolling, clicking, or consent interaction. Sites can behave differently for real users, browsers, regions, accounts, or network locations.
  • Counts are a lower bound: trackers that load only after interaction or consent are not observed; Service Workers are blocked, and Web Worker or WebSocket traffic may be incomplete. Service labels use a US-biased hand-curated catalog, so regional services may be under-labeled. Cookie and storage figures are an end-of-visit snapshot, with storage keys read from the top frame only.
  • This scan typed a synthetic test value into 2 form fields (never submitting the form) to test whether typed input is captured and sent to third parties. The value is synthetic and is not stored. Requests the page sent during and after this typing, including any unload beacons, are part of the recorded request log and counts.
  • Read the site's privacy policy (https://www.facebook.com/privacy/policy) and compared its text against this visit's observed behavior. Policy checks are an automated text match with the matched sentences quoted, not a legal reading.

Recorded provenance is self-reported measurement metadata, not a cryptographic attestation. The public versioned report JSON contains the retained public evidence; see the methodology for interpretation and retention limits.

This report covers what the scanner measures, not everything a site can do. 17 browser surfaces are not instrumented at all (Every page except the one that was scanned; Anything that only loads after scrolling or interaction; Why a request happened, as a causal chain; and 14 others), 3 capabilities are declined by policy, and 3 are outside what any single visit can see. Their absence from this report is not evidence that they did not occur. Read the published coverage boundary.

Detector accuracy is unmeasured. No calibration study currently publishes a precision or recall for the detectors on this page, so a detector match here is a recorded observation, not a calibrated classification. How detector accuracy is measured.

Approved use boundary: This report is investigative evidence that requires independent corroboration. It is not a standalone legal determination and not the sole exhibit in a legal proceeding. Recorded in this project's release manifest on .
