Excerpt of feed:

Today I found out that google docs infects html exports with spyware, no scripts, but links in your document are replaced with invisible google tracking redirects. I was using their software because a friend wanted me to work with him on a google doc, he is a pretty big fan of their software, but we were both somehow absolutely shocked that they would go that far

Google Docs exports automatically infected with tracking links:

  • txt - unaffected
  • html + AFFECTED
  • odt - unaffected
  • pdf - unaffected
  • epub + AFFECTED
  • rtf - unaffected
  • docx - unaffected
