What happens when you watch my BBC Ideas video on Surveillance Capitalism or if you embed it on your own site?

Aral BalkanSurveillance Capitalism at the BBCRecently, I recorded a video on surveillance capitalism with BBC Ideas.
You can watch the video on the BBC Ideas web site and you can also embed it on your own site, as shown above. All you need is a tiny bit of code that looks something like this:
<iframe src="https://www.bbc.com/ideas/videos/surveillance-capitalism-has-led-us-into-a-dystopia/p06p0tdy/player" width="640" height="500" scrolling="no" style="overflow: hidden" allowfullscreen frameborder="0"></iframe> But what happens when you add that code to your site?
@Aral Balkan Great and lucid video! Thanks! Luckily Privacy Badger blocked Chartbeat on my system, but the problem of course remains for those who wander about the net unprotected. Thanks for helping to shine a light on these issues!
@harald Thanks, Harald :)
