The assessment is done as a quorum, where only data that a lot of users are sending is considered safe, since it could not be used as a way to link records by a third-party, hence track. To do this only with local information is impossible; and while it can offer a good degree of protection, the collaborative effort implemented as part of Ghostery is much stronger.

We wrote extensively how this is possible in our two blog posts about [Human Web](https://0x65.dev/blog/2019-12-03/human-web-collecting-data-in-a-socially-responsible-manner.html) and our [anonymization network layer](https://0x65.dev/blog/2019-12-04/human-web-proxy-network-hpn.html). Of course, this means that there is no unique identifier attached to messages.
