Note that the demo sends your email address to the server if it's a hit.

$.ajax({ url: "/google_leak/save.php?info=manual_hit:" + email });

update: gone now. still pings that it ran. don't forget to hit ctrl-shift-r to bypass your cache.

Sorry - that was for debugging purposes and I forgot to remove it. I've removed that and purged the log.
Ok, since it's removed, we'll turn off the flags above.
Thank you - I had assumed malice, glad I was proven wrong.
Still there for me..
I assume it was cached for you. I did purge the CloudFlare cache when I made the change, and only 2 more entries hit the log after that (which I also cleared). :)
It's gone.
Ctrl+F5, it's probably cached.
Then the post should be flagged.
Yeah, not cool.
According to Google, the leak is working as intended, so I think your problem should be with Google if you don't like their features. Who wants to guess how long until advertisers use this to confirm their guesses for people's identities.
This is why we can't have nice things.
