Re: Wikipedia tracks user behaviour via third partycompanies #2

bug18898 (https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=18898) is relevant,
both in the technical response proposed, which is more appropriate for the
parallel wikitech-l thread, and in that the wiki in question is frwiki. The
external URL linked (http://pacli.appspot.com/posterstats/tick) seems to be
clearly a stats-collector which probably has similar privacy issues. I
closed the bug as not being relevant to MediaWiki itself, but asked the OP
to take it to frwiki's admins, the Wikimedia Forum on meta, or the
Ombudsmen, depending on how severe they thought it. It doesn't look like
any of these options were taken. Is this something that should also be
looked at in the same way?
