| Very encouraging to see, especially symbolically. Whether it actually improves privacy is hard to predict, as we don't know what de-anonymization is possible when this is done at scale, only because no one has tried this at scale before, and we've never seen someone so highly motivated to defeat it as an NSA chasing a terrorist might be, or an ad network trying to retarget you. One other issue is that we really have no way to audit this, as the implementation and what specifically is shared likely won't be available for inspection by end users. It might also complicate efforts to educate users about what data they are sharing, and get their active consent for it, when there exists this grey area state between sharing and not sharing.
