Some https for links where available, an image description, minor copyediting, removing a rant-y line

| Aug 10, 2014 at 20:56 | comment | added | Jaydles StaffMod | @devnull, I hope the info below is helpful. Wrt your comments, I'm not deleting or editing them because we allow a much wider berth for criticism of us than others. That said, name calling ("cowards") of just about anyone other than me will get those comments deleted, and likely lead to warnings and possible suspensions. (Again, NONE of that applies here, but other users seeing those comments shouldn't conclude they'd be tolerated if directed at anyone else.) | |

| Aug 10, 2014 at 13:35 | comment | added | devnull | @ShadowWizard Huh, I won't bother. So diamond mods are also supposed to be those without a proper set of eyes. Moreover, this isn't a request for some private data -- the response to this question would probably be of general interest. The lack of an answer does demonstrate the attitude of SE staff and that privacy policies are possibly nothing more than copy-paste without having any obligation to adhere to. This is why lawyers exist -- to interpret a given statement in a billion ways. | |
| Aug 10, 2014 at 13:26 | comment | added | Shadow Wizard | There is always a chance this question was not seen by the proper set of eyes, to be fully sure you can email the team directly and ask them about it. | |
| Aug 10, 2014 at 13:13 | comment | added | devnull | @ShadowWizard Right. However I would have expected an answer rather than hiding out like cowards and providing an implicit response. Who knows if one would be willing to giving away email addresses and other personal information if given some more advertising dollars. | |

| Aug 10, 2014 at 13:06 | comment | added | Shadow Wizard | @devnull no, it just means they don't care enough for this and they're not obliged to. "community" is just a word, it could also be "Stack Exchange - programmers cult". If one is really fanatic about his privacy, guess he better not use Stack Exchange. (not talking about you, as you're still here, just in general :)) | |
| Aug 10, 2014 at 13:01 | comment | added | devnull | @ShadowWizard So calling it a community seems pretty hypocritical. Moreover, I would be tempted to argue that the Privacy Policy is misleading at best. Quoting: (1) We take the private nature of your personal information very seriously, and are committed to protecting it. (2) This privacy policy describes what information we collect when you visit the network... | |
| Aug 10, 2014 at 12:28 | comment | added | Shadow Wizard | @devnull agreed, guess the answer is as simple as "no, we do not honor this request". | |
| Aug 10, 2014 at 7:33 | comment | added | devnull | 2 bounties and no official answers explains everything rather well. | |

| Jul 29, 2014 at 10:08 | comment | added | devnull | Moreover, I don't see any obligation for you or anybody else to provide an answer. Everybody knows how valuable personal information is. | |

Removing http://qa.sockets.stackexchange.com -- it tends to make folks emotional.

| Jul 29, 2014 at 10:00 | comment | added | devnull | @balpha I'm not sure what makes you say that I'm being defensive or passive-agressive. I understand that you might not have an answer for obvious reasons. Will remove the sockets.se domain from the question -- hopefully that will make it worth answering! Moreover, I assume that you'd have a better answer on what qa.sockets.se.com or any other domain is doing. If I had an answer I wouldn't post the question, right. | |
| Jul 29, 2014 at 9:17 | comment | added | balpha StaffMod | Why so defensive? I explicitly said that my question does not invalidate your point in general. All I want to know is why you claim that qa.sockets.se.com is "attempting to track the user", a question which you still haven't answered. I do think you have a valid question here, but with your passive-aggressive tone you're not doing it a favor. | |
| Jul 29, 2014 at 8:23 | comment | added | devnull | @balpha sockets.se was mentioned for the sake of completeness. Does including it make the question invalid? Do the advertisers (who pay SE) need to deliver me a gift which requires them to track me? Even if they need to, for whatever whimsical reasons, don't you think that Stack Exchange needs to make it clear to it's users? | |

| Jul 29, 2014 at 5:21 | comment | added | devnull | @balpha The related post doesn't talk anything about honoring Do Not Track settings which is the main point in this question. | |

| Jul 27, 2014 at 9:49 | comment | added | balpha StaffMod | Related: meta.stackexchange.com/questions/210658/… | |
| Jul 27, 2014 at 9:38 | comment | added | balpha StaffMod | Not to invalidate your general point, but why do you consider the sockets.se domain to be for tracking? That's the websockets endpoint for realtime updates (upvotes, N new answers, X new comments, etc.). | |
| Jul 27, 2014 at 9:35 | comment | added | devnull | @Doorknob A couple of links in the post should help you understand that. | |
| Jul 27, 2014 at 9:33 | comment | added | Doorknob | Define "track." | |
