Show HN: Using stylometry to find HN users with alternate accounts
How much should we fear de-anonymisation ?<p>A lot of discussion on the thread are over &quot;how can we prevent this&quot;.
I would like to know why should we not embrace this and similar technologies?<p>The benefits in my view are large - online behaviour tracks back to real life - and epidemiology speaking the value of millions of test subjects across every question are invaluable - from traditional medicine to &quot;mass psychology recommendations&quot;<p>I can guess some downsides (hiding from abusive exes) but am interested in studies, surveys, reports etc - any HN thoughts welcome
