I do in fact exist

I'm an information sponge, so if you have some question that you think I might have an answer to, feel free to ask! Even if I won't have it off my head, I know how to look up things fast.

On that feature that a lot of people are getting very upset about at the moment. Without even getting into the whole differentially private aggregation thing,

this is only going to affect someone in the first place if they (1) don't have adblock on and (2) click on the ad? like, in the case when their privacy is fucked already and AFAICT all does is to make it slightly less fucked?

@gsuberland @jaseg

they don't explain what stops advertisers from just cycling through lots of ad IDs

The fact that they have to ask Mozilla for every single one of the end aggregations.

@gsuberland @jaseg enforcement on that is trivial though. Does a domain have an aggregation already running? Deny. Does the requested aggregation has more than 256 buckets? Deny.

The only way to game these simple rules would be to have a million different domains and redirect each user to a different one. Which I mean, I guess is a way to abuse it, but I don't think we'll see a day where users are getting separated into a million different domains for this.
