While things like this sound scary, deanonymization turns out to be not exceedingly impactful in practice. Most entities have no desire to deanonymize you, to them, the most useful format is to treat you as a GUID with a bag of attributes attached to it.

Of the entities that remain, they fall into two buckets: Ones powerful enough that they already have personally identifiable data without the need to deanonymize anonymous data sets and ones small enough that they don't have the capabilities to deanonymize.

If you're a government, you don't need to rely on anonymized data sets, you have the sets with the labels already. If you're a stalker or internet troll or whatever, it's far easier to just pay one of the PI websites $29 to get far more data on a person than any deanonymized dataset will give you.

The amount of data and precision of web searches has grown enormously since the internet became active.

So, I would imagine everyone becomes more powerful over time.
