@Fam_McP "q-Anon measures the probability that an all-knowing attacker may use an API query response to map private data to a social network user."

"...real Facebook data was analyzed to understand what levels of anonymity are practical for social network applications."

@Fam_McP Let's posit that QAnon is not a 'person' but 'an algorithm'; a 'process'.

For harvesting and defining 'affinity groups'.

To 'influence'.

Dalenius’ desideratum

Re: #QAnon / q-anon / k-anonymous / etc.

Welp.

All it turned out to be was a dictum to be created then exploited.

It was exploited.

A sucker is born every minute.

Dalenius’ desideratum sounds like a dictum to be used as an exploit of personal privacy data, by using it as the basis for defending the collection, aggregation and analyses of same for the purposes of developing weaponized propaganda as a political tool.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Q-anon Scalability
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Even if the number of users to be evaluated is bounded, would it be practical to calculate q over, say, a million users for every API call?

"...such minimization generally scales linearly for the Facebook data that was tested..."

Let's posit that #QAnon is not a 'person' but 'an algorithm'; a 'process'.

A lot of food used to be cheaper until we started shipping so much to China.

Almonds and Peaches are an example.

Grown in orchards all around me - raw prices skyrocketed to the point I seldom buy them, anymore.

The orchardists are getting screwed by the altered supply chain.

We ship peaches to China where they 'CAN' them for USA then ship them back to USA.

How fucked up is that?

HOW MUCH EXTRA do you think that adds to a price of peaches and takes jobs out of USA?

Turning American Farms into commodities has ended up screwing Farmers and Orchardists - and our #Agriculture industry.

Whether it's Beef, Lamb, Nuts, Fruits or Legumes, the evolution of the supply chain ended up screwing family farmers-and consumers.

And fresh water supplies.
