This is a very strange decision. It will be necessary to create a WEB standard with a list of "forbidden" parameters, so that other projects that might accidentally use the same parameter names do not suffer.
This update may cause mega-corporations to generate parameter names. Visually, they will look like a random set of characters, inside they will contain an encrypted name with a random initialization vector and a checksum to distinguish between friend or enemy. ?vdj1967enxb52p99kiGFskdj785hFyu=kjQGj90sac17E6AJjk8afzmScA Further you will forbid to use "unreadable" names of parameters? Then they will begin to make up random names from readable words. Will you start limiting the length of parameter names next? Then you will destroy the entire Internet. среда, 13 октября 2021 г. в 19:59:53 UTC+3, [email protected]: > Hi folks, > > On Tue, Oct 12, 2021 at 1:37 PM Chris H-C <[email protected]> wrote: > >> To dveditz's points: >> >> > Are you tracking users, or campaigns? >> >> Me personally?
