Adtech relies on the OpenRTB 2.5/2.6 spec for tracking, you would have removed 1 identifier out of a hundred (one that isn’t really used anyway given SSAI is so popular).
Removing an identifier that is used. (1/100 = matters, “isn’t really used” != unused). This contradicts your other statements:
Yeah, multi-hop is pointless for tracking.
…IP addresses and multi-hop don’t matter…
Broad statements that don’t take into consideration the threat model of other users. Servers you connect to might not be using source IP in any way to track. You might be leaking so many other identifiers, that its completely useless to worry about multi-hop. But this is not true for everyone in every situation.
It doesn’t change the contradiction.
You almost had the rest of the sentence there:
That doesn’t change the contradiction.
You’re trying to argue without evidence (like I had provided). To summarize these exchange so far its:
Is there some evidence you’d like to provide or is it going to be another “nuh-uh!”?
I’m sorry, but that isn’t correct.
I’m sorry, but that isn’t evidence.
I’m unsure what evidence you are referring to.
Evidence, or it isn’t true.
Unrelated, but absence of evidence is not evidence of absence.
Anyways, your own statement:
Removing an identifier that is used. (1/100 = matters, “isn’t really used” != unused). This contradicts your other statements:
Broad statements that don’t take into consideration the threat model of other users. Servers you connect to might not be using source IP in any way to track. You might be leaking so many other identifiers, that its completely useless to worry about multi-hop. But this is not true for everyone in every situation.
If its worth anything to you, the Tor Project seems to think multi-hop and IP addresses matter for protecting against tracking.
