The motivations, as far as i know, are written on the about page:
"A web with web fonts is more beautiful, readable, accessible and open.
"
Google Fonts makes it quick and easy for everyone to use web fonts, including professional designers and developers. We believe that everyone should be able to bring quality typography to their web pages and applications."
If you have some actual evidence that the last part isn't true, and that it's really some big scheme to "log visits", what is it, exactly?
FWIW - my dealings with the team, which mostly involve reviewing occasional open source font contracts, makes me believe they really are just crazy about making web typography good. But i'm really interested in whatever sinister theories people have.
I mean, you know what they say about people who like "Signika Negative".

- DannyBee 13y agoIf you want to skip the personal attacks and explain 1. What "trillions of visits logged" means, exactly. IE what you think is being logged past a request for a font. 2. What you think the data is actually used for The web font loader is open source, so this should not be too hard to explain what it's sending that you think is valuable and why. Or you know, you could just continue on with meaningless ad-hominen attacks, since well, you never responded to anything i asked.
