No - this would not work. The Google API is being called AFTER the submit to the Spot.IM servers based on all available evidence. So long as you submit a comment to Spot.IM, Google is getting it.
I should point out that they may have a data retention agreement with Google that disallows Google from keeping the comment, but - as you may know - an online learning algorithm doesn’t need to keep the data to benefit from it. The data nudges the algorithm in the right direction and is then discarded.
Well, that sucks. Thank you for the further information.
I suppose if you block Spot.IM too, then the comment engine wouldn’t even run?
Did I ever mention that I hate google?
I have quit doing business with, or even going to, many retail websites that require Google Java to use them. And I’ve told the business owners why they no longer getmy business.
Same with Amazon.... At least Amazon has only about 1/4 the penetration Google has.
Is this Spot.IM operating behind most sites? I’d guess it is on the social media sites like Twitter or FB or etc.
I’ve noticed many times, on my fake sm account that I use only for FR and a community news page, my comments disappear quick as rabbits. Mundane comments like commenting a local happening was mentioned on the evening news gets yanked or “don’t text” or “don’t drink and drive” comments on a traffic accident disappear in a flash. Or is this merely the owner of the site?
