- Additional information
- This work systematically quantified an important observation that was previously only supported by anecdotes: users of privacy technologies are blocked from accessing substantial portions of the Internet. The paper resulted in public pressure on the content distribution networks which were causing this effect, and one of the largest, Cloudflare have now taken a new approach that gives a better experience to users of privacy technologies, affecting over 12 million websites.
