What this actually means

apnews.com's retained request log includes catalogued Google, LinkedIn and Meta domains.

Retained request rows include 19 distinct catalogued tracking-service entities; 19 of the retained service matches recorded responses across at least 166 retained cross-site domains. A catalog match identifies the service domain, not why the request occurred or what it carried. It also looks like a cross-site script registered listeners on keyboard input.
