I am trying to get my hands on Alexa top 1M lists from between July 2012 and March 2013. If anyone has lists from this timeframe and could share, please let me know. Thanks!

@Ganjavisst @narseo Thanks for the suggestion. We will take a look. In any case, the data is available for direct download on our project website: https://t.co/5spEKvORDA

@Shiftreduce @narseo No personal data is taken out of your phone (it's an academic project). All the processing happens on your device, including the interception. It's a localhost technology. You can read more about the technology and privacy policy on our project website: https://t.co/fbTdt19Xvf.

[Lumen App @lumen_app]

@heathcr @narseo @PrivacyMatters Thanks for getting in touch. Those permissions are required to obtain ground truth about your personal data and search for it on the network flows. You can read more about our privacy policy here https://t.co/fbTdt19Xvf. Do not hesitate to ask if you have any other question!

@tombrossman @narseo Dear Tom, you can find it available for direct download on https://t.co/lQypLddiQ5

[Lumen App @lumen_app]

@khaxan @linuxubuntu888 Thanks for referencing us! Quite spot on. One of the biggest problems in our opinion is that users are not aware of the vast amount of third-party tracking and advertising services present on every single app they use.

@eob Unfortunately Android does not allow to programmatically remove root certs. The process for removing root certs is not obvious.
