I don't suppose we are -- but how can we check?

                                                              Only in Emacs

Fortunately I don't use ffap, but others do, so I am glad we fixed this.

Is there a way we can systematically log all attempts to connect to anything
on the net, to make sure we know what all of them do?

    IOW, shouldn't you rather be using something like

        torsocks emacs

    if you care about privacy?

That seems a little extreme and inflexible.
