Except, there's the possibility that if this worked, companies wouldn't need to track users, and considering the hassle it is (at least in the EU), they will prefer using these non-invasive methods _instead_.
And this possibility seems to be why Mozilla engages in it. You might think it's not going to work, but from this to attributing malice to Mozilla's intention there's a long way.
- goldsteinq 2y ago> there's the possibility that if this worked, companies wouldn't need to track users I don’t buy it. “PPA” don’t allow for targeted ads, so it does not functionally replace tracking. It’s an additional statistical tool made for advertisers and designed by advertisers. > from this to attributing malice to Mozilla's intention there's a long way Silently sending (non-aggregated, aggregation happens later) user data to third-party servers is enough to attribute malice.
