[reddit change] Rampdown of Outbound Click Events to add Privacy Controls (self.changelog)

umbrae[A] が 投稿

Thanks everyone for the feedback on outbound click events, it's been helpful when talking this through internally, and is why we announce stuff like this.

We're going to add some privacy controls before rolling out fully, so we've turned this off for now. Once we have privacy controls baked in we'll then open it back up for testing. We'll let you know what we've got in the coming weeks.

The recent bestoff post and the conspiracy lunacy surrounding it has nothing to do with it?

conspiracy lunacy

When is someone on Reddit not stirring up conspiracy lunacy?

A lot of people on reddit care a lot about privacy. That's totally cool with me: I'm a huge privacy advocate too and it's part of why I like being at reddit.

Personally, I do feel like this change is pretty innocuous, but I'm also happy to have reddit be on the more careful side than the rest of the web.

I do wish folks were more reasoned with their feedback, though. (Also tbh, the bestof post actually is unrelated, I was already at home when it was posted and we had already decided this.)

Oh for sure, I also care about privacy. But like everything there are extreme ends of a spectrum. I feel that most of the "feedback" falls in that extreme end of the spectrum.

Mostly considering that this isn't exactly the most privacy sensitive data you guys could gather and for a lot of stuff you could simply use server side code without anyone knowing it.

Ah well... shrugs

Regardless, it's a good thing. I'm glad it's happening. It's much more convenient than having to install a userscript or changing rules in adblockers.

It's hardly a good thing. Conspiracy nuts ruin yet another good tool.

Oh good, I can tell people to use the upcoming privacy controls instead of rationalizing why RES is not the right agent to implement a workaround.

It'll be on by default though, right?

I'm a bot, bleep, bloop. Someone has linked to this thread from another place on reddit:
