These 'anonymity' technologies are laughably worthless - sure ZKP might provide mathematical proof that it's impossible to find out who the subject is, but embed a tracking cookie and fingerprinting script into both the porn site, and the online grocery - and there you go, you have irrefutable cryptographic evidence of how John Doe likes to spend his evenings.

- torginus 1y agoThe GDPR is a fucking joke even on the best of days. If other laws were like it, they would be like: You're not allowed to steal (unless you really need to), but if you do, take as little as you can (as determined by you), and you have to give it back as soon as you can (again, according to you), and if the person you stole from wants it back, you have to (unless you have a good reason not to)
