Building Tech That Respects Our Rights
summary
Findings: Tabula on ~5% of sites and its partners Axiom and Oracle supply massive profiles — 3,000 attributes on 700 million people and 30,000+ attributes on 2 billion profiles — while a study shows 99.98% reidentification with 15 attributes so pseudonymized data is not safe. Practical work includes a blocker called Better Blocker and a personal server framework kitten. Advice: self host third‑party scripts, default to zero‑knowledge storage, end‑to‑end sync, and prefer interoperable, noncommercial funding.
