You're probably getting downvoted for discussing Project Veritas (which is a silly reason for downvoting IMO) but your point is still accurate: these companies are defnitely running models to create probabilistic identity models in the absence of deterministic associations.

Deterministic = I specifically say I'm person X and am logged-in. Probabilistic = I am not logged-in on this browser, but am on the same computer, same IP, and am logged-in on a separate browser at the exact same time under name X. Therefore I'm very likely person X.

It's not silly. A source that has been often shown to fabricate evidence and post straight up lies doesn't belong on HN. Many of their videos, including the "undercover interviews" with Twitter and Google have all been shown to have been edited/cut to completely change what the person was talking about or trying to say.

Nothing coming from PV can ever again be taken with a single grain of salt.
