Sounds like their technique is “right on.”

At a certain point, doesn’t this become an issue of On Exactitude in Science? If everyone’s data is collected in every fashion, we’re left with a map of the world with a 1:1 scale.

…In that Empire, the Art of Cartography attained such Perfection that the map of a
single Province occupied the entirety of a City, and the map of the Empire, the entirety
of a Province. In time, those Unconscionable Maps no longer satisfied, and the
Cartographers Guilds struck a Map of the Empire whose size was that of the Empire, and
which coincided point for point with it. The following Generations, who were not so
fond of the Study of Cartography as their Forebears had been, saw that that vast Map
was Useless, and not without some Pitilessness was it, that they delivered it up to the
Inclemencies of Sun and Winters. In the Deserts of the West, still today, there are
Tattered Ruins of that Map, inhabited by Animals and Beggars; in all the Land there is
no other Relic of the Disciplines of Geography.

—Suarez Miranda,Viajes devarones prudentes, Libro IV,Cap. XLV, Lerida, 1658

Sounds like someone has just discovered Google Analytics, which are absolutely everywhere, even on your porn sites. They are only scratching the surface on this.

If you are wondering, Yes Boing Boing has a Google Analytics tracker built in as well.

There’s a pretty good 8ch room for just that.

I am shocked – shocked – to find that Google Analytics tracking is going on here.

                  Your residuals, sir.

Thank you very much.

Not necessarily true, and not just limited to porn either. Depends on many factors, not the least of which is: what app do you use to watch video? What are its permissions? What does it’s privacy policy, if any, look like, especially in regards to 3rd parties, like, for instance, Google affiliates?

And please don’t return those to the Library. Just pay the fee.

Robby: I want to poop send data back and forth.

Robby: It’s like I’ll poop send data into her butthole data port and then she’ll poop send it back into my butthole data port and then we’ll just keep doing it, back and forth, with the same poop data.

You will be a lot wiser about the insane amount of tracking going on everywhere and you will only load from sites whatever you want to load.

It has a slight learning curve and you’ll have to accept that some sites will become completely unusable, though you probably won’t even want to use those sites anymore after you see the amount of data leeching they’re doing. But I think it is worth it even if only for educating yourself.

Also like a normal person, your family will find your stash if you die suddenly.
