Ask HN: Meta's 'Localhost Tracking on Android'

Meta was caught secrectly tracking Android users. Between September 2024 and June 2025, Meta exploited Android's localhost to connect users’ mobile web browsing to their Facebook and Instagram profiles.

I know they stopped doing it when it got public. But are they punished for that? Can't find much on internet about the current status.
