Given their grievances:<p><pre><code> 1. An "invisible pixel" style webbug/tracker on every page on the site, hosted by WebTrends.com.
2. The entire WhiteHouse.gov domain appears to utilize edge-caching technology provided by Akamai, Inc.
3. Access to direct-download MP4s of video content appears to be hosted by Amazon S3.
</code></pre>
I have a few more to suggest:<p><pre><code> 4. Avoid all javascript because a XSS attack could result in data going to a third party
5. Avoid unsecured http because cache servers between my computer and whitehouse.gov could intercept traffic and change the pages
6. Don't register the SSL certificate with a CA because they could issue a different certificate and redirect the user
7. Don't link off site -- the other page could examine the referrer and know you visited whitehouse.gov
8. Don't allow the traffic to be routed on networks owned by Comcast or AT&T, since all traffic is monitored there.

I trust the Obama whitehouse will implement these reasonable steps to safeguard our privacy.
