> Finger-printing is not PII

I didn’t say it was. The original conversation wasn’t about PII it was about anonymising. Fingerprints defeat anonymisation.

I reckon in practice with for example an Amazon sales log with names removed and my public Twitter feed you could de-anonymise me with a high degree of certainty.
