DUC login - what request is Pro Tools sending to Facebook?
There's another Thread questioning if the DUC (at present) is secure:
http://duc.avid.com/showthread.php?t=403825 (I'm not paranoid, but I just didn't know what to say when the Easter Bunny cornered me & asked what I knew) Just interested, kind reader, as it shouldn't affect my not-subscribed/never been subscribed FB status

Re: DUC login - what request is Pro Tools sending to Facebook?
Hi Jack
Sound advice – I’ll leave Adblock Plus on - and Privacy Badger stops FB (see attachment) Well may it be that “It's not trying to login to FB” – what it actually says in the lower LH corner of my DUC login is: “Sending request to www.facebook.com...” (see attachment) I’m still curious to know: If I login to the DUC (with Privacy Badger disabled), what is this request to FB – and what’s the reason for it?

Re: DUC login - what request is Pro Tools sending to Facebook?
Thanks Jack – appears Avid is “Sending request to www.facebook.com...” - a site where hackers “potentially stole the data of up to 50 million people” – from an unsecured (http://duc.avid) site …. I have no idea what the “out of the frying pan, into the fire” potential of this partnership megs out at!
So, instead of dwelling on “privacy ethics” and “security”, I chose Acronis True Image’s 2019 Cyber Protection update (Windows build 17750 - March 27, 2019 and Mac Build 17780 - March 27, 2019) - “Active Protection from Ransomware, AI-based technology prevents and stops ransomware”. Acronis 2019 can restore to your existing computer – or to completely different hardware. https://www.acronis.com/en-gb/suppor...s.html?p=41367

Re: DUC login - what request is Pro Tools sending to Facebook?
Big thanks to both Jack (NoScript & Privacy Badger) and Shane (HTTPS Everywhere) for these tips!
Too bad we have to duc for cover. However, on the good side, I think I can now safely blow my candle out …

Re: DUC login - what request is Pro Tools sending to Facebook?
FaceBook will track you and collect data from you through every site that has their 'Like' and/or 'Share' button. Even if you don't have a FB account.
Firefox, NoScript and Adblock Plus are your first line of defense. Sure, I know. Google collects everything it can too. But Google will only use that data for its own (possibly nefarious) purposes. FaceBook will sell any and all collected data to whatever third party without your consent. Did I mention NoScript..? T
