Next time you go to a movie theatre and there's someone standing there keeping count of how many people are going in - because it's there job or something - make sure to complain they're infringing on your right to privacy.

This seems like a much bigger issue than the NSA copying entire datastreams from American internet hubs.

Good for them. They are still ratting out their visitors to Google.
As we speak police vans are en route to round up visitors to that Mozilla page, in co-ordination with Google's security division...

For example, running some log files offline through AWstats is not that hard, and the AWstats output is quite good for most purposes.

Such melodrama. As we speak police vans are en route to round up visitors to that Mozilla page, in co-ordination with Google's security division...
The information google gathers will never go away. If google collapses, that data will be slurped up by governments and the private sector alike, and there's absolutely no way for you to predict how it will be used in 40 years time.
The optimum strategy is to never let them get an ounce of information about you.
I've had GA's domains redirected to 0.0.0.0 in HOSTS ever since I knew of them. It's also another one of these single-page-apps that require JavaScript to display any content at all. I think with such a design they're clearly not targeting the sort of privacy levels that more users on HN than the Internet in general expect.
Check out RequestPolicy sometime if you're concerned about GA and other tracking and went through the trouble to bit bucket it in hosts; it's really nice to be able to set which other sites any given site can contact, and I trust it more than the other curated options like Ghostery etc. since I can see for myself where each site is allowed to go.
