If you reach out to my server, my server has to know where to send the data back to.
The “where” in above quote is my ip. That’s all nothing else.
Nobody said shit about logging anything.
?? Let’s pretend that’s true. Ignoring the previous comment.
Why not. Wouldn’t your so called “security” will increase if they log things so they are more sure of your identify.
An ip lookup isn’t tracking jack shit.
Sigh! now you are arguing on definition of tracking. Which is pointless as you can replace that word with whatever you are comfortable with.
You are demonstrating that you don’t understand how technology works.
Perhaps. But the since concept of ip hasn’t changed much since the internet became public it’s doubtful that don’t understand ip.
you accessed the site which exposes your IP.
Yes. Doesn’t mean you have to save my ip address that I used. Or even the general location I used it from even if it will increase security.
apache server and look at the logs.
Shrug. What does that means? You can control the info logged in server and also if you choose to keep it or classify it.
hey this IP belongs to a location that’s 10000 miles away from their profile!
This means you are tracking the information that I have moved or am currently am at 10000 miles whatever place. You have no business knowing where I move to. It is kind of tracking as you are collecting more info than you need to in the name of “Security”.
If I think my data on a website is important enough I will make the password there random and complex enough not to be guessed or brute forced. I don’t need your extra tracking.
They can increase security by matching address. Sure. The can also increase security by checking everything on your pc and house to figure out if you are you. I don’t need it.
Let’s send an email and double check!.
That’s a different point. They should always provide an option for 2nd or extra authentication for people who want it. But it doesn’t need any other info than that I want 2fa.

Personal insults are always great arguments. Please continue at your leisure. Since I am not good at it I will stop here.
You understand that same level of security is used by hospitals, yes?
No, not all hospitals at least.
Ill tell that to all the jews whose data got targeted and stolen.
Sure, go ahead. You have my permission.
Im sure it was harmless.
I don’t know why you are sure of it. It could cause harm even if you can’t think of what harm it will cause.
Your brain works differently from mine. Your idea of protecting your data is to give away and even force them to collect more data on you. Mine to make them collect less data.
Why would I not expect the same level of security for a piece of my medical data?
Because it’s not a bank.
Thats just as important as my money.
Unless you are super rich and have a lot of throwaway money, it’s a false over exaggeration.
“This doesn’t absolve them of anything”
Of course it does. “Security” based on behaviour tracking is not the expected default like you are making it to be. (neither should it be.)
