Fascinating, Nick! I wonder what the best way to point these things out to Amnesty International? I have connections to them if we wanted to express concerns about accessibility and insecure web elements.

This is the part I don't get... I hate to sound like a broken record but I guess I just don't get what threat model they have in mind. Are many people in the world legitimately concerned with things they write publicly on the web being read by machines, spiders, bots? It doesn't seem like this is at all effective towards that goal... -- Joseph Lorenzo Hall Chief Technologist Center for Democracy & Technology 1634 I ST NW STE 1100 Washington DC 20006-4011 (p) 202-407-8825 (f) 202-637-0968 joe@cdt.org PGP: https://josephhall.org/gpg-key fingerprint: 3CA2 8D7B 9F6D DBD3 4B10 1607 5F86 6987 40A9 A871
