I think the idea is to make MitM snooping more difficult, not necessarily data collection by a third-party.
I agree, though, it is kind of silly, knowing that Google has been complying with large numbers of FISA requests.
- konklone 13y agoGoogle Analytics data is anonymized and aggregated - it's very different than request patterns and sessions tied to a specific IP.
- bigiain 13y agoThe data Google give back to you in Analytics may be "anonymized and aggregated", but the data you're allowing them to collect from your users on your behalf is certainly individually-identifying and specific (and shareable with the NSA either wholesale via some PRISM-like means, or at the very least via court order or NSL)
- konklone 13y agoI've been told Piwik (http://piwik.org http://piwik.org) is very good. I'll give them a shot. If they're good enough, maybe I'll replace Google Analytics with them - then at least I own all the data myself.
