Dear Mozilla, stop watching me
I think we should learn to pick our battles.Email itself is 100% insecure.  You should assume that 100% of your email is available to the intelligence community.  (There's a reason Petraeus never sent any email to his mistress. According to William Binney, the NSA keeps copies of all emails sent to or received in the US.)  So, they already know this email was sent to you.Stopwatching.us is going to present your signature to Congress anyway.  If you're paranoid about the US government, it doesn't make sense to sign the petition.The only additional data they can receive from this innocent tracking code is that you read the letter (if you decided to display images) and that you clicked on a link (if you in-fact did).The intelligence community could conceivably do a lot of terrible things with everyone's phone records, everyone's Facebook data, everyone's Google searches...  but if you want to remove measurement completely from the web, that's a bridge too far.
