|    x You should figure out what's actually making the requests which are being identified that way. It could be
|    from web browsing where EasyList + EasyPrivacy don't block those because it would break functionality but
|    another list being used to evaluate the requests considers them trackers. In general, it's not going to consider
|    the most privacy invasive requests made to an app's own servers to be trackers because it's used for the
|    functionality so it doesn't mean much at all.

x As an example, a bank's services are privacy invasive because they track all of your payments and everything
else they can see. They often provide a lot of the data to third parties including selling it. Whether or not
their app uses client side analytics and telemetry connecting to a few domains dedicated to that which are
considered trackers doesn't matter much. It's the difference between extremely privacy invasive vs. surface
level things which tend to not matter much.

     x As another example, consider a camera app with filters which uploads every picture and video to their servers
     to do the processing on their cloud vs. one which does everything locally and doesn't send user data anywhere
     but includes a crash reporting system and basic analytics to know how much features get used. The one with the
     crash reporting system and analytics will be classified as having 2 'trackers' vs. the very privacy invasive one
     sending off your sensitive data with 0.
