census is now identifiable

Uh, no it isn’t?

Oh, my sweet summer child...

I was pissed at the last one because it felt like an invasion of privacy lol.

Idk what the current status is but last I checked they literally keep addresses and names in a Totally Secure (TM) government database and just like hash (or some other "one way" crypto encoding) them when distributing subsets to researchers. Have they actually changed that policy of direct retention?

Forget name/address. The info in the other questions is what was pissing me off. That's enough to ID you.

It's like browser fingerprinting
