I'm just pointing out what people have done in the past and what they could do in future, although OSM is a special case in terms of data since you can download the entire dataset and run your own tile server, but it's also feasible that some people on the extreme end of things have come up with firefox plugins that request the real information in noise to protect themselves. > I'm finding it increasingly hard to follow your logic.

Even with anonymising proxies it doesn't hide what you requested, just who requested it, so people came up with plugins for google etc that request false searches to hide what they are searching for, not just who is searching for it. _______________________________________________ talk mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk
