sounds like a potential privacy disaster of Google Facebook and others can just listen in on erroneously assumed privacy. I suppose the only reason Google/Facebook aren't pushing for it is it allows anyone to collect this data vs just the big players.

IPFS is an alternative to HTTP. Would you characterise Google's Web crawler as "listening in" and an "potential privacy disaster"? Are those paying for SEO "erroneously assum[ing] privacy"?

HTTP doesn't announce ALL the internal networks you're on. It only announces its own public IP in which it responded to.
