What is going on with those new accounts preaching against online privacy recently? Edit: For the lurkers trying to educate themselves, I recommend those resources: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nothing_to_hide_argument https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Citizenfour https://vimeo.com/nothingtohide

From my experience (as I prefer freedom of information) if you are against privacy you tend to get downvoted. I think downvotes can lead to your account being rate limited which is annoying so it makes sense that people would want to use another account.

You need js to extract the PI though?
You can do requests to the site using pure CSS as well, using something like `.site:visited { background-image: url(/logging/site); }`
those kind of tricks are already blocked by browsers, as the article explains

#36Sly and clever, but the demo's not working. That's all I see - https://i.imgur.com/zl1iv6O.png Recent Firefox + uBlock.
Do you have JavaScript disabled?

#37I believe this is not a new concept. However, I applaud the accessibility, style and implementation of the proof-of-concept, given that the author seems to be only 15! Also sidenote: I like the creative and subtle plug for the author's 'Quickz' project (seems to be a Kahoot alternative - I have never heard of either) in the "not visited category". Keep up the good work!
Thank you! :)

No, each square the user clicks could be a checkbox that is submitted to the backend as a form when they click done.
It could even just use CSS selectors to reveal an image or change a background image that results in a request to the backend.
Fortunately most browsers already have some measures to prevent that (https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/CSS/Privacy_and...), the demo avoids automating the process altogether, and relies on tricking the visitor into 'voluntarily' telling if they've visited a site.
