> So again - without talking about the actual data in the requests (and not just a dns record...) this isn't really a helpful conversation to have. I'm not fucking speculating. I'm saying DNS records are a trash excuse for actually looking at the data. If they want to make spurious claims - the burden of proof lies firmly with them. In the mean time: > Then there shouldn't be any requests. I literally just told you why they're making these requests... they're fetching data to display on widgets related to local news and weather, and they're tracking their install numbers. You can bitch and moan about that - but they're very clear that they're doing it at install time, and most times you can opt out.
