- tiborsaas 5y ago> Hosting a web page on github pages would have this issue too... (?) No, because users are expected to know that visiting a webpage results in their IP address revealed. In that sense it becomes impossible to provide webpages to users if they first have to consent. Google fonts is different, because if I'm ok with germanwebsite.de knowing my IP it does not mean that I'm also ok with Google knowing about it with the same action of clicking a link.
- tlarkworthy 5y agoVisiting a website by a European in Europe does not require IP address to be exposed to US soil, right?
- antsar 5y agoYes, and that’s more a commentary on GitHub Pages also being a tracking service, not disproving anything about Google Fonts. Surely Microsoft doesn’t let those access logs just sit around collecting dust.
