Don't End Up in the PETs Cemetery
summary
Privacy enhancing technologies sit on a spectrum from policy‑reliant controls to cryptographic guarantees; multi-party computation is used for analytics by splitting inputs across parties so no single entity sees raw user data, while oblivious proxies or private relays strip metadata before forwarding requests. These systems are hard for outsiders to audit, the FTC enforces Section 5 against misleading claims, and past cases include Henry Schein (weak encryption), Zoom (not true end‑to‑end), and CafePress (false encryption claims).
