Oh, but you CAN tell if they're sending those keypresses back to the mothership by monitoring the networking tab in your browser.

Maybe. They can hold batches and smuggle them in various ways.

You could probably hide that from anything but a deep dive by chucking the data through a websocket. Unless you see and recognise the initial socket connection you may miss it entirely.
