sending

However, realistically this is hard to pull off without sending signals that the ship is sinking and everyone should just go elsewhere.

Wasn't there some speculation that twitter itself had some bots auto-generating fake users, sending fake tweets, etc?

On one hand, you have Windows and Excel which are closed source and could be sending all that information.

Sure, they aren't actually sending anyone, but they are pretending they are, and gullible people believe them.

Only if they achieve the blocking by not sending me the data in the first place.

Well, hopefully they learned something from the NSA documents and are at least encrypting the data they're sending home now.

I am concerned about sending so many requests to reddit every time I open a new tab though.

Instead, you have to send a connection preface, then start building and sending frames of data in specific orders with specific binary packing formats.

And with Chrome's auto updation of extensions, one may never know if the extension author has started sending every URL back to server again.

I looked at Reddit Check's background page and checked the network requests it was sending.

Because I do this, however, that situation was easy to take care of (delete alias and blacklist the sending mail servers).

For that matter, it's really just a matter of faith that the settings completely disable the sending of this information (or disable it at all).

If I get your key and start signing spam with it, sending it all over the place, you'll soon be overflowed by "yo!"s, you'll have to regenerate keys, rebuild trust (a process you've forced to be slow), and your mail won't go through for days or weeks.

Sending live navigation data to servers is useful to update traffic information in real time.

Sending back every visited URL has never been ok for any reason, first time I saw this idea shot down was in '93.
