[Toolserver-announce] google analytics (and similar services)

[DaB.]

Hello all,

I was noticed by a user today that a few web-tools on the toolserver (at least 
3) uses google analytics and violates our rules with that. No user is allowed 
to "publish connection data, especially IP addresses, of other people " [1]; 
"publish" means also "give data away to (other) companies or webpages".

I will message these users separately, so that they can remove the problem 
themself soon. If you (because of nescience or ignorance) include a service 
like google analytics in your tools too, please remove it too very soon.

Sincerly and good night,
DaB.
