The Google Maps example you linked to works by building a huge
database of the exact byte sizes of satellite image tiles. Are you
suggesting that we could fingerprint articles by their sizes and/or
the sizes of the images they load?

But if so, in your tweet you said padding wouldn't help. But padding
would completely obliterate that size information, wouldn't it?
