Hmm. I'm not sure. I think people who are concerned about privacy will probably already have cookie security options set up, and that's the ideal solution (they will be encountering images across the net anyway).
I think it would be better to concentrate on letting people know that such things can happen - cookies and logging. If it's from a really objectionable site like Stormfront then it is probably best to change it, but just the BBC I don't think is too bad.
It really comes down to how much people object to the creepy feeling that someone somewhere has just logged your IP address, browser etc and... well, will probably entirely ignore it. That's the only bit you physically cannot avoid client-side without proxies.
Incidentally, direct linking to objectionable sites can be a security risk too; again, taking Stormfront as an example, if someone links to a particularly vile article there, and others click on the link and go trolling, then Barbelith will be on their server logs as referrer. This is a problem on Urban75, which has had its share of board invasions. I doubt it's that likely to happen here but it's something to be aware of. |
