I guess the logical conclusion of your line of thinking is that you should stop using the Internet altogether, as there is no telling which sites are using google analytics or are hosted on the app engine, all of which will do the same thing
- teddyh 11y agoPlease don’t be silly. Just because a person tries to cut down on salt doesn’t mean that the “logical conclusion” is that they should cut out salt completely, or indeed completely eschew all forms of spices or flavorings. (Also, I block Google Analytics, and as I understand it, relatively few people use the Google app engine compared to other hosting solutions.)
- adrianpike 11y agoMake sure and stay away from anyone who might be using Google's JS or font CDN's too.
- bsilvereagle 11y agoI didn't realize how prevalent Google's JS and font CDNs were until I ran uMatrix for a while. It seems between GA, jQuery, and fonts, 80% of web sites I visit are tied into Google in some fashion.
- teddyh 11y agoThat is not practical advice. Also, it is disingenous and belittling. Please don’t belittle someone who just tries to avoid something which they percieve to be harmful in large doses. Do you similarly make fun of vegetarians with comments like “Make sure and stay away from red beets and blood oranges, haw haw!” or “But what if you swallowed a fly by accident? And what about the myriads of microorganisms that exist in everything?”
