This website does not track you.
It contains no private information. It does not drop persistent cookies, does not collect data other than incoming ip addresses and page views (the internet is a public place), and certainly does not collect and sell your information to others.
Some sites that I link to may try to track you, but that's between you and them, not you and me.
I do collect statistics, but I use a simple stand-alone Wordpress plugin, not third-party services such as Google Analitics over which I have no control.
Finally, this is website is a hobby. It's a hobby in which I am deeply invested, about which I care deeply, and which has enabled me to learn a lot about computers and computing, but it is still ultimately an avocation, not a vocation; it is certainly not a money-making enterprise (unless you click the "Donate" button--go ahead, you can be the first!).
I appreciate your visiting this site, and I desire not to violate your trust.

Canada enacted the same law a few years ago & it had the preachers in an uproar. For the very same reason. I haven’t heard of anything lately, but I would like to know how they’ve dealt with it.

I suspect that if it had been a problem, a news junkie like me would have heard about it.
I have mixed feelings about “hate crime” laws–generally, what they do is increase penalties for things that are already crimes based on the motivation; I wonder whether that is appropriate. At the same time, when I watch and hear of the antics of those who preach hate, I want them to stop and fear the effects of their words.
