On the face of things, concern over this type of 'privacy violation' seems to be reasonable. However, coming from a page that is loading content from Fontfeed, Twitter, Gravatar, Google APIs, Fontshop and lo...Google Analytics, I think it's a bit of a silly argument.
If you want privacy, don't expect the sites you are hitting to take care of that for you. If you expect others to enforce security for you, well then, you have an entirely different problem.
- a3_nm 12y agoThis doesn't imply that, as a webmaster, you should be fine with asking browsers to load external resources from third parties with potential privacy implications, just because privacy-conscious users should have disabled it by themselves.
- kordless 12y agoI'm not sure, as a webmaster, that I have any better control over my user's data than Google's font service does. If I think I do, I'm probably naive.
