So, basically you're basing the privacy issue completely on geographical location from an IP in your argument. I think you may have misread the part of my post that said:
The last bit is only true if you believe you're being spied upon every time you visit a website.
If you are in any doubt of this, please take the time to look at any Apache log and you'll see IP addresses, regardless of whether the clients are using Python HTTP modules from inside Plasma Boost or not.
You are correct in saying that having a socket module of any sort is somewhat of a danger, however, if limited to the current applications (getting text from http servers), there is a limited amount of danger. This is because opening a server-style port would involve activity that would automatically be blocked by the built-in windows firewall.
Saying that I am "entirely wrong" and saying I have less training than an "inexperienced web-dev" is considered
ad hominem abuse, which is frowned upon on this board. In the future please try to debate ideas rather than belittling your opponent. Using these tactics puts your whole argument (even if it is a good one), in a bad light.
Currently getting some ink on my hands over at the Guild Of Ink-Makers (PyPRP2).
