Re: [w3ctag/design-reviews] Probabilistic Reveal Tokens (for IP Protection) (Issue #1125)

Just a quick question for you to contemplate:

How can you promise that the proxy protects people from profiling (targeting and personalization) based on IP address if you give them the IP address 1 out of 10 times?

The delays do nothing to prevent the information from being usable, unless you have a reasonable expectation that the IP address that is revealed can never be used by the same person in either:
* another context where there is a direct connection, or
* via the same sort of proxy where the the IP address might be revealed using PRT.

Otherwise, the site just has to be patient, harvest the IP addresses they can, and do whatever activity linking they see fit for those that are revealed.
