Your comments seem to underscore how Google controls the debate by defining the terms on privacy issues. You seem to be saying "Concerned about privacy? You could check up on Google by acting like one of its advertising customers.." which sort of highlights the parties Google is most interested in being transparent with (for completely understandable business reasons).
But of course in order to do that, you also have to have a login, cookie, etc. for a panel that Google controls, and that exposes only a tiny subset of the information it could most obviously and trivially correlate about user activities.
These just aren't really things people trying to visit wordpress sites should have to consider..
- lallysingh 12y agoPlease see my other comments on this thread about privacy terminology, norms, etc. But yes, I think that when considering the debate, one should look at both sides for an honest understanding of what's going on. Tinfoil-hatting a login for intel gathering's a stretch. Please use whatever you feel necessary (e.g., TAILS) for keeping your privacy while doing a little recon on what google's offering about its users to advertisers. Ultimately, wordpress chose to refer to google for font loading. That's their choice and right, and it's what people reading wordpress will have to deal with.
