    Oh, my sweet summer child…

    I was pissed at the last one because it felt like an invasion of privacy lol.

      Idk what the current status is but last I checked they literally keep addresses and names in a Totally Secure ™ government database and just like hash (or some other “one way” crypto encoding) them when distributing subsets to researchers. Have they actually changed that policy of direct retention?

        Forget name/address. The info in the other questions is what was pissing me off. That’s enough to ID you.

        It’s like browser fingerprinting
