Just enabled DDG's app track protection to test it out. Had Nekogram opened for a few mins, and Google already made 234 data collection attempts. I know the Big Guys are hungry for personal data, but this is absolutely ridiculous.

That DDG app is interesting, so it records inter process communication without root? How?
It acts similar to a VPN connection and is able to block network requests to tracking sites/APIs.
Ah so Nekogram connected to Google?
