How we track you - Sirius - 11-09-2024
In the spirit denying ignorance, I often see users concerned around tracking and algorithms on youtube etc. Half the population believes there is conspiracy while the other half collects data.
We see everything, anything we want to. Implementing something like hotjar is pretty standard. A competent engineering team will just build their own tools.
Your web requests are fingerprinted and shared between firewalls.
There is no conspiracy just technology, the way it functions and the people that run it.

That youtube video is a unique identifier. If your browser downloaded the thumbnail there is a trace connecting us. There is also traces left on the CDN and the php server and probably nginx and anything in-between. All of it can be used to track you.
A fun anecdote from me is one of my firewalls bugged out at one point and logged each character typed into a google search as a separate request.

so what do you do with the datas should we care? you post here make traces too it doesnt bother you though so it is like watching a doctor does to see what healthy is? or you think our opinion on public policy law and such should change, could that change system future? also curious if you train ai with it or sell?
too on another level we knew this, snowden said they grab it all? and archived too. plus world is itself a big akashic datasexgiver haha. it is glass onion though im not sure the beatles meant it thatway.
