If you speak to a large group of people anonymously it's not private.

If it's not private, what you say, how you say it and when you say it can be analyzed to identify you.

It's a people problem not a technical one.

where does timing fit in?

The pam module requires you to forward a remote connection to your ssh agent - when you connect to a compromised server your attacker can authenticate to other machines as you.

An ssh key for root is simpler and safer.

That's pretty misleading - I believe Google's parent company still own part of Niantic. So other customers shouldn't expect the (implied) same access to Google resources.

Nice.

Broadly the people who contribute, contribute because they want the data to be useful. The people who don't care about the data being useful aren't contributing.

I'd love to see pictures from the acted scenes (subway) over a series of days, weeks, years. The "travellers" who are leaving every day.
