Turn off Google's surveillance on meet.jit.si
Ciao, spero di fornirvi buon materiale su cui riflettere segnalandovi questo scambio: https://github.com/jitsi/jitsi-meet/issues/4590 Si tratta di una segnalazione agli sviluppatori di Jitsi, un sistema di video conferenza open source multipiattaforma molto interessante tecnicamente e che sicuramente molti di voi conoscono. Ne riporto la solo segnalazione iniziale di seguito, ma naturalmente la parte più interessante per i nostri ragionamenti sull'etica della tecnologia, sulla differenza fra open source e software libero, e su sorveglianza e privacy sono (e saranno, la conversazione è ancora aperta) le risposte del team di sviluppatori. Giacomo ____ # Description Even just the name of a chat room might contain sensible data. Google should not be informed about people joining a chat room, since it might be able to identify them (by relating informations gained across different Web sites or on their own services) and profile their relationship. # Current behavior Any visit to https://meet.jit.si/ or any chatroom therein informs Google through Google Analytics. The Referer HTTP Header let Google relate the different members of a chatroom and personal data such as user's IP and User-Agent let Google actually identify the persons in the chatroom by relating such information with those available on their ubiquitous services. # Expected Behavior https://meet.jit.si/ doesn't leak personal info to third party. The users accept to trust only meet.jit.si and such trust should be honoured. # Possible Solution Remove <script async="" src="//www.google-analytics.com/analytics.js"></script> from the Web pages served under https://meet.jit.si/ Steps to reproduce Visit https://meet.jit.si/ or any chatroom therein such as https://meet.jit.si/GoogleIsProfilingYouRightNow # Environment details A logging proxy might be useful. As an alternative, the DevTools of the browser might suffice.
