Data is only anonymous until someone finds a clever way to de-anonymize it. This has been proven with browsing history, advanced GPU fingerprinting, favicons, and many more. Here's a plausible scenario: 1) share something from #Facebook, #YouTube, #DropBox with a single person (or a list of people you know) (alternatively, you can make it public but restrict its visibility); 2) embed it on a site you control; 4) detect if the embedded code was shown (or not) using some JavaScript; 5) when this person (or someone from the list) visits the site, they are not anonymous anymore, you can know exactly who they are. #NoConsentNoTracking always consider anonymity doesn't exist. This is further explained in the Wired article linked in comments. #dataprivacy #dataethics #digitalmarketing (this post also serve as a test to see the reach & engagement impact of embedding a link directly with the post)
