Why are those concerns not surfaced in the Wikipedia article, or elsewhere? (That I can find, anyway?) I have no idea. But I would like to have one, or a few.
Thanks for bringing this up.
Here is the link to the Wikipedia article on HTTP/2:
<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HTTP/2>
And here is the #Criticisms section of the article:
<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HTTP/2#Criticisms>
And here is a link to a document with the texty cited below (a passage
from its "10.8 Privacy Considerations” section):
<https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-ietf-httpbis-http2-17#section-10.2>
(Feb 2015)
Here are two more links to later versions of the same:
<http://www.tech-invite.com/y75/tinv-ietf-rfc-7540.html> (May 2015)
<https://github.com/Jxck/http2/blob/master/main/rfc7540.txt> (May
2015)
Why are those concerns not surfaced in the Wikipedia article, or
elsewhere? (That I can find, anyway?) I have no idea. But I would like
to have one, or a few.
Anybody know the authors? Here they are:

R. Peon, Google, Inc

For all you privacy advocates you need to read section 10.8 of the
HTTP 2.0 spec. Or as it should be known - Tracking 2.0
So what's the Holy Grail of advertising - to track you across
MULTIPLE ORIGINS. What does this mean? Multiple devices. You're on
your desktop and then you switch to mobile.
Ok.. so with that in mind read the following section:
10.8 Privacy Considerations
* Several characteristics of HTTP/2 PROVIDE AN OBSERVER AN
OPPORTUNITY TO CORRELATE ACTIONS OF A SINGLE CLIENT OR SERVER OVER
TIME. These include the value of settings, the manner in which
flow-control windows are managed, the way priorities are allocated
to streams, the timing of reactions to stimulus, and the handling of
any features that are controlled by settings.
* AS FAR AS THESE CREATE OBSERVABLE DIFFERENCES IN BEHAVIOR, THEY
COULD BE USED AS A BASIS FOR FINGERPRINTING A SPECIFIC CLIENT, as
defined in Section 1.8 of [HTML5].
* HTTP/2's preference for using a single TCP connection allows
correlation of a user's activity on a site. Reusing connections for
different origins allows tracking across those origins.
* Because the PING and SETTINGS frames solicit immediate responses,
they can be used by an endpoint to measure latency to their peer.
THIS MIGHT HAVE PRIVACY IMPLICATIONS IN CERTAIN SCENARIOS.
All you have to do is 'Follow the Money'. HTTP needs to evolve for
mobile advertising. And that means I need to track you across
different origins.
HTTP2 is a protocol that is supported by a web server and browser.
Look to see who controls BOTH endpoints. I wonder whose browser and
server will support 2.0 first.
DNT is now no longer required because the PROTOCOL is tracking you,
NOT the headers or the Identifiers or the Attributes.
It's good to own a browser.

Tracking the Trackers
<TALKS9_IMAGE.PNG>
Online tracking poses a serious privacy challenge that has drawn
significant attention in both academia and industry.
In this talk, I discuss my company's recent work in detecting
tracking and exposing both the extent of tracker and the (mostly
unseen) profiles generated by the tracking for the trackers. I
will also reflect on whether the benefits of "Big Data" actually
requires a massive privacy breach on a global scale or whether
this is just a convenience for the companies involved to have all
the data at hand. The interesting case of the browser (a major
component/accomplice in tracking) as a precursor of things to come
when everything becomes a computer (IoT etc...) will be discussed.
SPEAKER: Jean-Paul Schmetz is the Chief Scientist of Burda GmbH (a
major German Media Company) and the founder/CEO of Cliqz GmbH (a
browser/search engine company owned by Burda and Mozilla). He
received his MS in Computer Science from Stanford University and
his MA in Philosophy from the University of Louvain.
