While it's silly that academics rely on a commercial company to maintain their commons, the fact that this company knows which articles you open strikes me as completely normal. Any library does that.
That they know which IPs you used? Any server you contact knows that. That they have your account number on file after they paid you? What were your expectations here.
- gbear605 4y agoIf I go into a library, I can open and look at any number of books without the library recording it. Of course if I check it out they’ll know, but that’s primarily to ensure you return it (and secondarily so they can see what books to buy in the future).
