> To opt-out from our anonymization of your personal information...

Uh, I'm no lawyer, but the wording really gets my attention here.

That caught my eye as well, it's odd that they chose such a wording and they use it consistently on their notice page [1]:

> Depending on your country, you may have the right or choice to: Opt out of some collection or uses of your Personal Information, including the use of cookies and similar technologies, the use of your Personal Information for marketing purposes, and the anonymization of your Personal Information for data analyses.

Me too. It really reads like my data will be highly personalised otherwise, ie with names and other data.
YouTube keeps offering YouTubeTV and their other services with pop-up boxes where the two choices are "yes", or "skip trial", which sounds like they're offering a yes/yes choice: yes sign up for the trial, or skip the trial and go straight to buying the service. Keeps annoying me.
