For how much time? When you consider youporn sends ping to twitter throught a weird domain (with a cookie on https://syndication.twitter.com/), it makes me wondering how much time it will takes before the porn life of everyone on twitter will be reveal.

I don't want to be the alarmist but it's not like twitter has a good track record when it comes to database leak and god knows how many influent politics are using it ...

That's why when I setup a browser for anyone that's not too technical I select pretty much all social blocking lists (among other).

No one yet complained that they can't Tweet while watching porn.

Seems like every web page pings all the social networks nowadays. The app world is worse, much more difficult to see who is phoning whom.

You need to install three extensions just to battle all this abuse. Getting a browser ready to surf the web in 2018 is like preparing to invade Normandy, and quite absurd.
