The Trump administration rebuilt federal websites with hidden visitor tracking tools installed without public notice, raising privacy concerns among digital rights advocates.
The Trump administration rebuilt federal websites with tracking tools installed without any public disclosure or notice. The tools were hidden—users visiting sites had no way to know they were being tracked. Digital rights advocates flagged the move as a privacy violation and a departure from standard government transparency.
This is different from normal website analytics. The administration specifically chose to hide the tracking rather than disclose it, which suggests awareness that the practice would draw criticism if known. It's a small technical move with a larger implication: the administration is comfortable collecting data on citizens visiting federal websites without their knowledge.
