For the 90+% who didn't actually read the article, the project is about website tracking, not user tracking, aka web analytics. |

| It's the difference between (a) knowing that between 1:00pm and 2:00pm there were 5,000 visitors to SomeWebSite.com and (b) knowing that between 1:00pm and 2:00pm some user visited these** 25 sites. It is different. But, that's why it's opt-in only--don't wanta, don't haveta. This data is currently being collected right now anyway by more than a few organizations, just not very reliably; your ISP, however, knows every site that you visit. There is no privacy on the Internet.
**whatever "these" happen to be. |
