And Epic is snooping some remarkably sensitive information, including pages from the FTC, IRS, NIH, Mayo Clinic, and more. Epic has written a response defending its practices."

  • That ad-network's "rebuttal" does very little to rebut the "graduate student" and mostly confirms his findings. I found the part about how history stealing is merely "the collection of anonymous, non-personally identifiable, browser information" to be particularly damning.

The difference between dogs and cats is that dogs come when they're called. Cats take a message and get back to you.
