hitbox

[piranha]

i was gonna write a PSA post about the hitbox situation, but desh has already done a better job than i would have, so i am just linking you there.

for those of you to whom "hitbox" means nothing, LJ had started to use the company (which has a questionable reputation) for stats collection, and there is a question about precisely what stats are being collected, and how protected that leaves people's private or flocked entries, since we're not just talking about cookies, but also about obfuscated javascript.

Thanks for pointing at the explanation. I'm pretty disturbed at the difference between that explanation and the one I saw yesterday (was it in lj_biz?).
