If this gains widespread use then the transparency points will make it far worse for privacy than using Google.
Why? Google have access control over the data or view it in anonymised form when crunching. But this data will open to anyone and would allow people to correlate visitor sessions not just on a site but across other sites that use this, to the degree that you could start deanonymising the internet activity of people.
It's a strange world in which we can say, "At least today only Google has the data and they've made it hard to get to".

- sudojudo 9y agoSome of us just don't want to live under Google's umbrella. Personally, I have no interest in sacrificing my privacy for "free" services. I'm not important, nothing I do is controversial or of any significance, but having my activities logged and monitored by a giant all-seeing eye is still uncomfortable. It's disturbing, to me, how accepting of these things people have become.
