Wired [unpaywalled]- This Machine Exposes Privacy Violations. A former Google engineer has built a search engine, WebXray, that aims to find illicit online data collection and tracking—with the goal of becoming “the Henry Ford of tech lawsuits.”…It’s a search engine for rooting out specific privacy violations anywhere on the web. By searching for a specific term or website, you can use WebXray to see which sites are tracking you, and where all that data goes. Its mission, he says, is simple; “I want to give privacy enforcers equal technology as privacy violators.” To level the playing field.

webXray – Privacy is inevitable: “webXray is a specialized tool for finding privacy violations on the web. While it shares similarities with a typical search engine like Google or Bing, its purpose, and features, are geared towards professionals in the legal and compliance sector who need to find specific violations of privacy law. The best way to approach webXray is to first come up with some category of protected data you are interested in, many of which are defined by laws referenced in our knowledge base. Once you have an idea of what you are looking for – be it violations of children’s privacy, medical privacy, or other such topics – you are ready to begin a search. Each field below has text to help guide your use of the search engine.”
