Just wait until they learn about the "behavioral reading" data collected by, oh I don't know, virtually every media site on the Internet.

- Shared404 6y agoThe biggest difference in my mind is that the Kindle is hardware you purchase. It has no need to be sending that much data, including attempting to find out the local IP. The article stated that a few seconds of usage sent 100 requests to Amazon servers. I'm fairly certain that most websites don't make quite as many requests as the tablet did.
- Shared404 6y agoWell, I tried browsing without NoScript for a little while. I stand corrected. New Reddit made 150 requests in about 30 seconds, not counting images/media/html. That being said, It's easy to block many of these with NoScript/uBlock Origin.
- eclipxe 6y agoWho cares if your local IP is sent somewhere?!??
- Shared404 6y agoOkay lets rephrase it as: "Large corporation collects massive amounts of data, including data that could only be useful if trying to do something malicious on someone else's network."
