Social Media


I don't use social media because of the ammount of tracking they do. I use reddit.
lol here are the files that chess dot com loads when you log in, about a fifth of which are required for functionality, the rest are advertising and tracking and one is for cloudfront which is for security
adnxs.com
amazon-adsystem.com
casalemedia.com
chesscomfiles.com
criteo.net
curse.com
cursecdn.com
facebook.net
googletagmanager.com
googletagservices.com
openx.net

lol, the spybook button and googlespyservices sending out requests everytime you login! Read their privacy polices, 2000 and 3000 words long. I dare you!
Of some interest to note is that chess dot com does not allow anonymous login, they use cloudfront which I suspect is just like cloudflare in that it blocks anonymous login attempts from services like TOR

Not that it'll do much good, Since he's getting himself muted for a while.
