Most of it is familiar but I did discover something that I didn't know. Tucked away in the sidebar on page 226 is this interesting factoid:
"The website freedom-to-tinker.com, hosted by Princeton’s Center for Information Technology Policy, published a study highlighting a particularly invasive data-mining software called “session replay scripts” that are being used by an increasing number of websites. According to the study, session replay scripts “record your keystrokes, mouse movements, and scrolling behavior, along with the entire contents of the pages you visit.” Unlike most third-party analytics services, which provide aggregate statistics of your searches and the pages you visit, session replay scripts actually record your individual browsing session in its entirety, “as if someone is looking over your shoulder”. The study lists tens of thousands of websites that were either found recording users’ browsing sessions or have the capability to do so. Among the big-name sites are xfinity.com, windows.com, texas.gov, petco.com, and fandango.com. The following sites were also found on that list." —Landon Bates Here are links to the study and full list: https://freedom-to-tinker.com/2017/11/15/no-boundaries-exfiltration-of-personal-data-by-session-replay-scripts/ https://webtransparency.cs.princeton.edu/no_boundaries/session_replay_sites.html It just keeps getting worse and worse . . . golinux _______________________________________________ Dng mailing list Dng@lists.dyne.org https://mailinglists.dyne.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/dng
