This kind of thing is what I've always seen as the potential end result of things like google analytics and also facebook connect. Both products that have javascript running on a vast number of websites, with the potential to link to personally identifiable information, in a similar manner to that discussed in article.
I can't imagine that I'm alone in this train of thought.

For instance, the sites that use something like zoho.com or disqus.com for blog comments; even though they're overt about their usage (as opposed to hidden tracking code), I'd rather not be heard at all then to willingly yield my personal information.

I know they modified the privacy policy a year or so ago to integrate data across all their products but does it include GA?
