Thank you for making me aware of this insanity. I'll make sure to block those on my sites. The thoughtless denial of privacy is so weird, no one seems to mind letting third parties spy on their visitors. Yes, you, Google, jquery, cloudflare, typekit, gravatar, disqus and whatever your names might be.
- kordless 12y agoThe only person that really cares about your privacy is you. It's cognitive dissonance to believe otherwise.
- Squarel 12y agoAnd yet plenty of people with the knowledge and means to ensure their privacy online and elsewhere get spectacularly vocal about the privacy of those who have neither.
- kordless 12y agoI think we should get spectacularly vocal about protecting people-who-don't-know-better's privacy rights. We created this damn thing called the Internet, and sold it to them as this awesome tool. We should at least try to secure it better. It is my belief that decentralizing services is one possible solution to this problem. At a minimum, having the user store their data at home on servers they plug-in and turn-on may be the solution. We're a ways out from that, but I'd much rather see people pushing the argument toward decentralization than faulting a website owner for using nice looking fonts for their gluten free pie crust recipe. Everyone knows what happens when hackers get access to your pie crust. They eat it.
