    I suppose uBlock Origin protects against this right?

    OK I see, but I didn't read anything about the TikTok tracking pixels. Seems like this was more about rogue TikTok employees who illegally accessed user data from TikTok accounts of specific users. The first article that I posted about is nothing new of course, Facebook and Google also make user of these trackers. I'm just trying to figure out if uBlock Origin and Ghostery for example, can successfully block them.
