- deskamess 16y ago... or customer support.
- MisterWebz 16y agoYes, with the user's permission.
- mike-cardwell 16y agoI'm not sure why you'd need the users permission to view what they're doing on your site in real time? I don't feel like I need to gain permission before I tail my access log when people are viewing my website? How is this any different?
- MisterWebz 16y agoSo you're telling you wouldn't mind someone watching every single mouse click and every word you type on a website without your consent?
- mike-cardwell 16y agoThe "someone" is the person running the website. So no, of course I don't mind. What is the danger? I already leave a log of my IP address, the web browser I'm using, the links I click, the time/date of my visit and any data that I submit through forms. If they want to monitor my mouse position as well, then fine.
- MisterWebz 16y agoYou're talking about small websites. I'm talking about websites with a lot of traffic and a lot of employees. You think only one person will be using that function? Not to mention the potential abuse by employees whose job is to monitor real-time user activity.
- mike-cardwell 16y ago"You're talking about small websites." No. I'm not. I don't get where you think the danger lies?
- MisterWebz 16y agoNo wonder we're headed to a future with less privacy.
- mike-cardwell 16y agoI'm all for securing your privacy. I'm just not one of those people who thinks my privacy is being invaded if somebody looks at me when I'm walking down the street.
