As far as the creepiness goes... unless you think request logging should be totally disabled, anyone can simply tail their web server's logfile to see real time click data. How is it more of a privacy violation, just because it's easier to read? In fact, the anonymization Mixpanel is doing does more to protect privacy than a simple tail would do.
- bxr 15y agoI could trudge around in my databases to read direct user to user messages. Should I? Should I sell a tool to facilitate doing so? edit: re: downvotes, Yes I was using argumentum ad absurdum, but I was trying to show that just because you have data doesn't mean analysis of it isn't intrusive.
