The problem is, Noiszy is corrupting your own web analytics data and the analytics data of all other participants in the web while doing fake visits.

This is all or nothing. You can not separate the "good" use of data vs the "bad" use. It's all the same data. Only the usage is different.

You're right that it's the same data, but I think we absolutely must address how to separate the "good" use of data vs the "bad" use. Especially since, for most people, the data is already out there and there's no way to roll that back. I hope we're going to be talking a lot more about the ethics and morality of algorithm development.
