This is explicitly against the Google Analytics ToS - what's the bet they do nothing about it?

They'll just invoke the standard SV bubble playbook:

1. Do nothing until it gets reported in a large dead tree medium.

2. Blame the reporter for not understanding technology.

3. Deny it happened.

4. Say it only affected a small subset of people.

5. Say it was only a single rogue "trusted partner" involved.

6. Put out the boilerplate "We can do better" press release.

7. Keep cashing the checks.

8. Lather. Rinse. Repeat.
