I noticed just now that the Foundation is soliciting applications for a new CTO: https://www.linkedin.com/feed/update/urn:li:activity:6515003866130505729
Can we please hire a CTO who would prefer to protect reader privacy above the interests of any State or non-state actors, whether they have infiltrated staff, contractor, and NDA signatory ranks, and whether it interferes with reader statistics and analytics or not, please? In particular, I would like to repeat my request that we should not be logging personally identifiable information which might increase our subpoena burden or result in privacy violation incidents. Fuzzing geolocation is okay, but we should not be transmitting IP addresses into logs across even a LAN, for example, and we certainly shouldn't be purchasing hardware with backdoor coprocessors wasting electricity and exposing us to government or similar intrusions: https://lists.wikimedia.org/pipermail/analytics/2017-January/005696.html Best regards, Jim _______________________________________________ Wikimedia-l mailing list, guidelines at: https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Mailing_lists/Guidelines and https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia-l New messages to: Wikimedia-l@lists.wikimedia.org Unsubscribe: https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikimedia-l, <mailto:wikimedia-l-requ...@lists.wikimedia.org?subject=unsubscribe>
