From the article:

> It isn’t all bad news. These same reidentification techniques were used by journalists working at the New York Times earlier this year to expose Donald Trump’s tax returns from 1985 to 1994.

Flippant comments like that make it hard to take the authors seriously. Their concern for privacy apparently evaporates when the techniques are applied against people they don't like.

I can be against the means while acknowledging that they may occasionally produce good results. If they were advocating for tracking only people they don't like, then you'd have a point.
