Mouse movements, typing speed, and typing style can serve as unique identifiers, much like fingerprints. As AI technology advances, it may become increasingly effective at recognizing these patterns, potentially compromising individuals’ anonymity. Are there any measures available to protect against this?

    Yeah but that is still pretty identifiable, the same way fingerprinting works pretty well for finding a user with a specific screen resolution, os, fonts, etc that already makes a specifically small subset of users that you can start to find patterns and identify individuals. The tiny subset of users who might be tempted to go about anonymising inputs is already thinning the field huuugely

      I’ve begrudgingly accepted that the greater war in this regard is long since lost, but I’m happy to win the small battles today. Unfettered internet access. Ad free media. VPNs, adblockers etc etc

      It helps that I’m a fairly dull person to begin with. I’ll probably be dust by the time it gets too bad to tolerate.
