I've checked the outgoing internet connections that are being established while I'm surfing on steemit.com and it seems that on every page I visit (account too) we are sending data to the big G and the big F! What's going up here?
I've no problem with the collecting of data by Steemit. I've a problem with big, external companies knowing how I moved my mouse while I'm surfing on Steemit.
This post should serve as a forwarding to my original post from yesterday, so that nobody misses this. Please see and share with your followers, so that we can solve the problem as quickly as possible:

English is not my native language, but I hope my words are nevertheless understandable for you.
Thank you!
on a side note... i think your use of tags according to @steemcleaners could be considered tag-spam. see here
Thanks for pointing that out! I've corrected the tags ;)
i've noticed that too... it's probably just simple visitor tracking for steemit.com, but still, is it really neccessary?!
this needs some visibility!
Visitor tracking is useful, but it can be done with Piwik without having to use Google. The data would then be saved on the Steemit servers and not in a Google account.
i know... not as easy and convenient as google analytics... but at least you own the data!
Im just curios how many timse you plan to post this ?
And how is related to art or photography ?
We all know when you do what ever online data will be always colected :)

When you surf .......... !
You know steemit is a transperant blog platform , so every one have the chanse to colect data .
And about moved your mous - is not only on steemit is on the momment you turn ON your PC :)
Not with a clean linux installation ;)
The big brather always look at you !
If you like to be enslaved, stay asleep. Mainstream brainwashing did a great job on you... (Alternative media in many cases is the mainstream ;) We are free as long as we hold together! People with your opinion are the ones who create that dark reality by talking about it like it would be a normal thing. But it's fake. You can find me on the bright sight of life ;) Peace ~
Just to admit , because i chek your profile and i see you are from Germany :) I live in Germany 4 yeras and i bet you have a Patch on your laptop camera !
How im enslayved ? ByGoogle colecting data ? He he , im just less paranoic maybe :) I am not focusing at this things simply because i do not care ! I dont have things to hide and its better to use my energy in my reall life than on the virtual :)

I had exactly the same thoughts as you, it makes no sense to send data for free to Google and Facebook there. In fact 80% of crypto currency (based on the top 50 of coinmarketcap) are using Google Analytics. So it is kind of scary.
