Comment (by chrisherbert):

 I wanted to bring attention to another project that I've created to
 illustrate the potential privacy risks of Gravatars, especially in concert
 with the REST API: https://dontreadthecomments.org.

 The site lets you search for for comments that are associated with an
 email across several thousand WordPress and WordPress.com sites.
