google can still mine the data, but a web site and their ‘marketing’ and ‘analytics’ cannot track and id users by ip. google still gets all that sweet browser data, they also run public dns. they can still put ‘2 and 2 together’ even if the destination is ‘cloaked’. that’s what’s “anti-competitive”.
but with everybody clinging to ipv4, cgnat is becoming more and more common. it’s time for those ‘marketing’ and ‘analytics’ companies to learn that an ip address does not translate to a single user, or even a single household–so quit trying to track or identify users by ip.
