I won't hold my breath, but this could be interesting if this caught on with other more mainstream websites, and they all shared the same tracking cookie. Google Analytics for congress. As is it's obviously relatively limited.
- djsumdog 10y agoYea, I was expecting something on the page for adding a tacking cookie to your site to add your own data. It's interesting how many people do use their website from within the federal government IP ranges.
- zapt02 10y agoThere is a very popular service in Sweden for exactly this. By freely embedding a tracking image on your website, you can see a listing of government, media and news agencies and which sites they visit: https://gnuheter.com/creeper/senaste https://gnuheter.com/creeper/senaste
- samstave 10y agoGosh, that should be a freaking law here in the US for every site to require inclusion of this...
- a3n 10y agoI'm with you on the sentiment, but damn, I sure don't want the government telling me what I have to say. Voluntary, widespread, even "boycott the ones who don't do this!" All of that's free speech. But not mandated by law.
- mholt 10y agoI would like to see a Caddy[1] plugin that does this. A web server can see wider deployment over many sites, rather than a single site. Even if it's not a good way to draw specific inferences about specific browsing habits, it could be a good way to make a statement. [1] https://github.com/mholt/caddy https://github.com/mholt/caddy
