"I'll just duck on to the web and check"

They're gonna annotate the web though! Any day now...

evoxed | karma 761 | avg karma 1.96 · | 2012-10-11 14:42:44

> no computer can do that of course

Just check the frontpage again in a few years.

schmorptron | karma 864 | avg karma 1.84 · | 2021-05-18 16:42:01+00:00

would be funny to look at the internet for a few days though

smokeyj | karma 2838 | avg karma 2.25 · | 2014-11-20 19:23:19+00:00

Don't worry. Google and the CIA have your back.

/duck and covers from incoming thought police

gizdan | karma 935 | avg karma 3.64 · | 2021-07-18 00:17:06

I'll do that once websites stop tracking me. I guess that's never.

scarface_74 | karma 3762 | avg karma 1.19 · | 2023-06-30 21:44:45

And who is actually going to go to the website?

smashing | karma 281 | avg karma 1.03 · | 2012-03-22 17:30:39

Or they'll just have people rating sites and looking for black swans like this.

CalmQuiet | karma 981 | avg karma 1.87 · | 2009-02-04 09:30:42+00:00

Yes: doesn't seem like it's going to be very "deep web", does it?

TheRealDunkirk | karma 5774 | avg karma 3.61 · | 2013-08-01 13:36:27

Whatever. If you don't think this sort of thing isn't happening at EVERY web top-100 web site, you've got another thing coming.

morganb180 | karma 126 | avg karma 1.83 · | 2013-02-02 00:46:48

> I hope it gets a billion hits.

1998 called. They want their web stats back.

joshspankit | karma 3345 | avg karma 1.55 · | 2022-01-20 19:09:30

Feels like that’s going to be next.

Or one of those tracking links from the Google search results.

DTrejo | karma 2124 | avg karma 2.85 · | 2009-08-17 01:33:41

They'll have to learn to search for this, once it falls off the homepage.

Dracophoenix | karma 1512 | avg karma 0.99 · | 2021-02-28 12:47:26

JayPalm | karma 17 | avg karma 0.85 · | 2023-07-16 13:08:56

Yeah, this occurred to me too. Guess we'll likely be inundated with 90's websites for a few days.

teeja | karma 530 | avg karma 0.83 · | 2012-12-26 00:14:09+00:00

Oddly enough, if everyone complies with their wishes, there will be no way to discover or get to their website. Suits me fine.

andybak | karma 19613 | avg karma 3.44 · | 2018-01-01 01:18:44+00:00

I'm going to do the same and I'm going to click on every single one that comes up. I bet the CPC for those things is obscene.

pcwalton | karma 42908 | avg karma 5.48 · | 2017-02-15 03:22:59+00:00

That's what WebRender will likely do.

teslademigod1 | karma 534 | avg karma 7.32 · | 2020-03-22 15:23:04+00:00

I think it's safe to assume that every single thing we've ever done online is either now in some unauthorized person's hands, or will be soon.

they have a thing like haveibeenpwned there. i checked, but mine wasn't included.

this time

> I'm afraid that if you don't now unscrupulous people will start scanning the site and picking those up.

Good idea.
