I think you have a reasonable point, but given their prior experience with publicly criticizing Google, they also have a reasonable desire to remain anonymous.
- corobo 10y agoThe best way to remain anonymous in this situation to say nothing. I mean if Google is going to penalise them and risk their search integrity for a quip what's to stop them asking a bud over at HN to see if this account's IP is associated with another? Infeasible of course but around the same likelyhood of happening
- hackuser 10y ago> the same likelyhood of happening I disagree. It's much easier to identify me by my real name than by asking a third party to analyze server logs to find an IP and match it to users (many of which may be using the same public IP).
- corobo 10y agoIdentifying a user by asking a third party vs penalising company for a quip. Those are the two things I was comparing, not how easy it is to identify someone.
