"Going blind" is a term I've heard recently when talking with operators. Where as "going dark" referred to the DOJ/FBI's term for ubiquitous encipherment of the content, "going blind" refers to the metadata (DNS in this case).
My view is pretty basic: If I can see your DNS, I can pretty much guess on a very short list what kind of [browsing] behavior you are engaging in.
