Thread 106378672

How do you feel knowing that all websites can and do record all your inputs, including mouse clicks, mouse movement, every single keystroke, including what you type into any text field, the timing of every event, both on desktop and mobile?

They can watch a replay of your browser screen as you move the mouse around, how far you scroll, and the replay matches the timing of the inputs. Even if you type something in a text field, it gets recorded, they can see every single letter you type and then you delete.

If you type your real name somewhere by mistake and you delete it immediately immediately, it's too late, they know.

Every time you write a 4chan post, they can watch a recording of your screen as you type.

Website admins can watch a replay of your web visit from start to finish, across all webpages.

Most websites have meta and Google ad trackers, which I'm sure records and sends all mouse tracking information to Big Data so these companies can now track the timing and the mouse movements of your entire internet session across different websites. And on mobile they do the exact same tracking.

I asked normies IRL and of course nobody either knows or even cares.

I know there are ways to block mouse tracking and fingerprinting, but my question is:

How do you feel about this and who allowed this to happen?

Sure it's the shitty modern obsession with micro-optimization, but it's not like that was supposed to be a secret

>>106378787
>public website
a better analogy may have been going to a shop and being videoed by cameras there

luckily all these services are operated like ass and don't save replays
sentry (prob the most common thing that does this) is such a piece of shit, i selfhost it and it hogs Everything even with a 14 day timeout

Private space opened to public in more precise terms

So if you fill the comment field with bad words all the way and then delete it all and then do it again and again and repeat it thousands of times, you will fill the server log with garbage?

>4CHIN USERS MIGHT STEAL THE MEMES, WE HAVE TO RECORD MOUSE MOVEMENTS
Pretty bad analogy really, given that it doesn't make any sense.

>>106379580
NTA but more like
>shop annotates what is bought more often so they can buy less of unpopular stuff

>>106379617
>shop records all micro-movements of every part of you that's in the shop
That would honestly be quite creepy.

>>106379646
Easily done with cameras, they do that to see the most visited parts and etc

>>106379580
mouseflow shows how retarded the average person is, sorry you're so underaged and retarded you don't even understand basic UX optimization. If you don't like it literally make your own website that has zero tracking. No one fucking cares to steal the name you accidentally typed in and the people who actually do care don't use Mouseflow.

>>106379646
>creepy
That's projection, we know how you'd use a camera, but that's not how we use it.

Interesting!

>>106379682
Not even an argument. You NEET incels are getting troublesome. No one cares what a jobless poorfag that will be homeless when his parents die actually thinks, you're going to be lucky if they round you up to work in coal mines.

boy, this place really is full of 90 IQ... people

>>106378672 (OP)
Does 4chin do that? The network tab doesn't show anything sus

>>106379697
At best your assertion of absurd paranoia based on a faulty premise. No one believes you have the absolute right to privacy on other people's property, digital or physical. It's also funny because you can easily disable things like Mouseflow with ad/tracker blockers.

>>106379719
>i'm responding to my headcannon about what you said
kinda strange to be honest

>>106379740
Okay another non answer, I see you have no interest in actually responding. The thread will die because like Mouseflow, people can see you're a moron as you use the website. Get left behind and die in the mines.

>>106379749
I don't know why you're expecting me to answer things that don't pertain to what I actually said.
You also seem unreasonably angry about the things you've imagined me saying for some reason.

>>106379770
Okay another non answer

Okay, so? They can, cause a website is like a application. They mostly won't because it's a lot of data.
>>106379202 Yeah, probably least useful service I fell for, but at least I never gave them money despite plenty of funding.

What are they gonna do with mouse movement and the fact that I made a typo and edited it just now? Nothing, realistically.
Perhaps in theory you could train a huge AI to recognize people by their mouse shakes or whatever, but it's not really practically realistic and there's much easier ways to recognize people.

Idc I blanket fire aeld every non-trusted website and even the trusted ones get their js mostly neutered

this isn't anything new though
google analyutics has had that shit since the beginning

I have uBlock

You can shoplift to your hearts content, what are they gonna do? It's the equivalent of the "white van".
