Oops, an "or" got lost in editing; fixed it!
I don't agree about anonymization; "true" anonymity is probably impossible in most areas of life, even for simple things like a walk in the forest as there's always something a significantly advanced sleuth can use.[1] There are no "true" one-way hashes either – you can always brute-force). It's about it being too infeasible to actually do that.
