I’ll stick with ASCII art porn downloaded over Gopher.

Google’s web trackers are all up in your fap time and there’s pretty much nothing (except maybe using a more secure browser like Firefox, read up on cyber security tips from the EFF, refusing to sign into a Google account and never going online without the protection of a VPN) that anyone can do about it.

I mean, why do you have to stream your porn live? If you save local copies, Google has no way of knowing when you later access them.

Add the following to your /etc/hosts or C:\Windows\system32\drivers\etc\hosts file:

127.0.0.1 google-analytics.com
127.0.0.1 www.google-analytics.com

What it does: When your browser requests content from these domains, it will try to contact your own machine and subsequently won’t be able to retrieve the tracker content.

I’ll stick to old copies of National Geographic and lingerie brochures from now on, for scientific reasons.

Damn, I really could have developed the joke more… How about:

“I’m being watched watching porn right now!”

Some people like watching.
Just wash your hands when you’re done.

What an ironically named activity.

Knowing that Google is watching and sharing while also pretending not to watch and share, is only making it hotter. Google, you are so naughty!
