Thanks for the feedback. I was trying to avoid the general ideas on what is a good way to anonymize data, because I don't think there are general rules that apply, and I'm not in a position to give authoritative advice on this. The more I dug in, the more I realized this is probably one of the hardest technical problems that exists right now, and there isn't yet a right answer that works (like use scrypt for passwords). As for GDPR, I think digging into this in more detail would be a great follow up.

everyone is going to have different requirements so yeah, hard to claim there is a general solution. but an idea or 2 can be thrown out there. like an anonymizer microservice that only remembers the mapping for a limited time period. even stating explicitly that it’s a hard problem and very very hard problem if you want perfection, would be a worthwhile addition. as it stands, the article doesn’t convey the difficulty of addressing the problem.
