Privacy Through Lies

A brusque sci-fi flush yesteryear Vernor Vinge, synthetic serendipity, mentions "friends of privacy" which fabricates lies to re-achieve privacy that is violated yesteryear web-services *cough*Facebook*cough*. Here is an excerpt.

Doris Nguyen. Former homemaker. Mike eyed the youngish face. She looked close his mom’s age, fifty-fifty though she was xl years older. He searched on the name, shed collisions too obvious myths; the Friends of Privacy piled the lies too then deep that sometimes it was difficult to detect the truth. But Doris Nguyen had no particular connections inwards her past.

This privacy through lies persuasion has been explored somewhat. I convey heard of a proposal where a node sends four dissimilar information to hold upwards processed (1 right too iii incorrect), too then the server cannot larn what is the right data, too the node tin locomote role entirely the reply to the right information too discards the other iii replies. I was wondering if this "privacy through lies" approach tin locomote hold upwards or is explored further.
