I agree very much with this thinking. Personally I could live with non-public data becoming public a few days after the measurement, but if everything is public in realtime Atlas would lose a lot of its attractiveness as debugging tool.
there are two aspects: 1) disclosure of the meaasurements and results I agree with Gilles and Gert that there is a difference between the results of measurements and the fact that something is measured right now and here. A publication delay seems the minimum to me, but for one off measurements in particular there might be reasons to not ever disclose them. 2) privacy of the probe host Maybe we need to work on "privacy considerations for probe hosts"; The ability to track the last 25 "connections" allows tracking the probe's IP address (maybe that's possible even easier?) and I'm not sure every host is aware of that. Opt-In is probably the very least we can do. -Peter
