It says I "like porn", but the porn torrents it shows are not thing I've ever downloaded. I don't download porn at all. It shows things I've torrented, but the list is very inaccurate. I sure hope law enforcement doesn't one day decide to use the same information source and frame me for viewing something I didn't.

That's the colour of visited links.

That is a Twitter Bootstrap class for "make it red".

The above poster is wrong though. It's quite obvious that porn=red and it's easy to test. Anything with "XXX" in the category column is red.

Why are all the porn entries highlighted red? Is it meant to shame people?

There are different shades of red, too. Some of the porn entries are illegal, and rightfully are listed as such.

I wonder how long before scam extortion emails link directly to this website in an attempt to add legitimate data to their extortion attempt

The beautiful part is that they may have no idea which IP address corresponds to your email until you click a unique link in the phishing email (or load a tracking pixel?).

The scammer doesn't need to know the IP, they just send them to the root domain which automatically loads the ip of the viewer.

Off topic but this raises a question about iMesssage parsing of URLs. I copied just the base URL (without my IP, so he would get his) and sent this to a friend. The preview in iMessage lists my IP, because iMessage actually visited the link. Does the message he receives show his IP or mine? e: Just tested this, it shows my IP on the receiving end. It appears iMessage creates the preview text on the sender’s side so t…

The web preview in iMessage is performed by each client. So your friend should see their IP in the preview since it's their client making the connection on their end. This is easy to test if you've got another device with iMessage. Take your phone off WiFi and send yourself the link. The device on WiFi should show your home ISP address while the device on cellular should show the cellular provider IP.
