Dog fighting is a type of blood sport that turns game and fighting dogs against each other in a physical fight, often to the death, for the purposes of gambling or entertainment to the spectators.[1] In rural areas, fights are often staged in barns or outdoor pits; in urban areas, fights are often staged in garages, basements, warehouses, alleyways, abandoned buildings, neighborhood playgrounds, or in the streets.[2][3] Dog fights usually last until one dog is declared a winner, which occurs when one dog fails to scratch, dies, or jumps out of the pit.[4] Sometimes dog fights end without declaring a winner; for instance, the dog's owner may call off the fight.[4]

I’m used to a quick fire response format for legal questioning. My words are carefully chosen, but I do reply quickly because I played every question in my head in advance.

The dig on downvotes however was intentionally cheeky. I’m well respected by many engineers who worked with me, no hard feelings, just a little teasing.

We don’t process it, not our decorator.

Max is a lawyer, I'm an engineer. ;-)

That's why webXray (https://webxray.ai) has perfected forensic privacy auditing - we catch every code change that has visible traces. I'll catch the same thing any way you do it - cookies, local storage, js obfuscated network payloads...no sweat. I'll go all day long.

Cookies serve a lot of valuable purposes, it's important to disambiguate.

Appreciated, means a lot.

I'm not surprised at the downvotes, but someday we all have to look in the mirror and decide if we like what we see, but it's easier to downvote in the meantime.

We run scientific audits that provide evidence of specific data transfers under specific network conditions.

Ha, the question is always "which humans"!

For legal work you need a controlled forensic environment, this is evidence gathering in the same way a crime scene is. We've developed a lot of proprietary methods to ensure clean-room conditions.

That's not to say the idea isn't interesting, but in terms of legal proceedings, chain of custody with the forensic data is most important.

That concept is applicable to the European Union, doesn't apply in California.

To quote our report: At webXray we are experts in tracking technologies, and we work closely with in-house counsel, defense, plaintiff firms, and regulators. However, we are not lawyers ourselves, thus nothing in this report represents a legal conclusion. webXray was not founded to supplant the role of lawyers, courts, or judges. We were founded to provide clear, accurate, forensic data, without fear or favor. We believe that by filling this gap we can enhance outcomes for all consumers, businesses, and regulators.

---

We are filing the gap related to reliable facts not existing. We did a scientifically controlled test with GPC on and off. We presented the results as technical findings along with general background.

We are not lawyers, and we are happy to help others perform their own audits: https://webxray.ai - we have no desire to be lawyers.

We are a hard-tech engineering outfit, we deliver scientific clarity on complex topics.
