Behind the simple interfaces of the websites we visit everyday, lies a complex web of code and exploitation.

Researcher Joanna Moll uncovered the hidden cost of ONE user buying ONE book on Amazon:

-1,307 different requests to various scripts (mostly used for tracking and profiling you)

-This totals 8,724 A4 pages worth of printed code

-The amount of energy needed to load up all that garbage: 30 Wh.
