Plausible doesn't collect information about you, but the site's usage. Do you also object to physical stores putting up cameras?
Here's their own instance, open to public.

> If it's available on the server, then sure that might be considered fair game. But using javascript (or any other client-side tool) to do what you should instead do server-side is abusing users (or their data).
That's quite the affirmation. Is this fact or opinion?

The difference is that the cameras don't get attached to my physical body, doesn't have any ability to monitor my actions after I have left the presence of the physical store, and can't force me to take any physical item or action. Javascript, on the other hand, has the capability to become persistent, can monitor my computer's activity outside of your website, and can leave a lot (!) of additional data on my computer without my permission.
