Hi again
Google Analytics has been in place for the past 8 months. No one has
complained before hand so I see no reason why someone should now!
I wanted to ask about it when I first blocked it.
And anyone one that has used Analytics knows it doesn't actually record
who you are or where you've been all day! The most incriminating data
would be where you came from (i.e. a referrer), you're os/browser, and
location. But no emails, ips, or names are attached to that data.
Huh?? How do you know? You only assume this from what google lets you know so
sorry but this does not convince me.
And as Kai pointed out, there are plugins out there that disable JS
scripts of choice. If someone doesn't want to be recorded, then they
just disable it.
And if people don't want to be tracked on every move they make they can simply
keep up with the ways of tracking and use tor, NoScript, ... wear stupid masks
against video surveillance in public, stop using mobile phones, stop using their
registered cars, ... or move to a deserted island.
Sorry I have a problem with too much power in the hands of google alone.
Do we really need to support this? I mean I said I would try to keep my
political believes apart but your "they don't store IPs" was too provoking.
So for now, it stays.
