It was pointed out by @csarven that the gitter chat room shares user data with Google Analytics

Google Analytics is generally considered to be privacy invasive and is not aligned with the core values of the Solid project

Chat is integral to the participation and evolution of the project. Users coming to the the project for the first time, and having strong views about user data, may later learn that they had been directed to services that did not respect their privacy, and be understandably upset

This being the case, I remain of the view that repositories under the solid org, do not recommend services which use Google Analytics and share user data with third parties, especially when no alternative is offered
