Notes
gollark: If it does your site is broken.
gollark: Look, it is ***not difficult*** to make `'DROP TABLE dragons;--` not actually delete the dragons table.
gollark: Okay, yes, the tracking won't directly hurt me, but I'm generally against surveillance.
gollark: Also, it couldn't delete the site anyway, it's not something horrifically stupid like PHP.
gollark: It's not *hard* to protect against XSS...?
