aaand again, we arrive at sigint operations. data transparency lab is about search and track. win10, inktomi, tahoe, all things that mr pablorod so dotes on, this chanology paper itself, are all about removing privacy/user and 'longitudinally observing' aka tracking individual users.
they love to talk about privacy as if they're advocates for it, but they direct all their activity to removing it and gearing the removal of it into services. who are their customers? where does all of their grant money come from?
quite frankly, the whole pdf/1610.03452v1.pdf reads like a product demo, revealing nothing useful. like a vaporware sell. propagated by the chans, to be fed into directed msm/youtube/twatter feeds.

alternatively, it could be that they're breaching privacy to sell privacy tools, the solution to them.
i don't know if that's any better or worse, but in this scenario they aren't as dependent on (((donors))). instead, they can also use capital flow from selling 'tools' to the very pawns that they fleeced to practice breaking privacy on – those tools conveniently include tracking. aka win10: made a problem, sold as the solution to the problem it made, to entrench the problem deeper beyond any normalfag's ability to choose otherwise.
here's mr pablorod doing the same back in 2011: use technowizardry mirrors to discover what users really want in new foods. what he called gastro-economy. he's the 'spaniard' at left.

back to the present, mr blackburn is a sjw nutcase with a beard. he's on DTL as an assistant, his name is last in the paper.
his papers concern themselves with privacy as well, but also concern themselves with predicting if you're a 'bully'. maybe best korea has use for his work.
i'm not the first to find this, already archived: archive.is/uFTye
some of these guys are just useful idiots and appear to attach self-granted good feelz to excuse themselves from what they're actually doing. pablorod doesn't appear as naive as the rest. the other name that keeps coming up is nick laoutaris, who likes targeted advertising with efficiency. most of these guys are from the mediterranean failed states, and have a rather extensive set of degrees after their names.
conclusion: sigint, with the arxiv paper being a full page ad.

i'll take it part back. i think that in abstract/general you are correct.
alierta, later with pablorod and DTL (telefonica's data arm), are doing the exact same thing still: they're using sigint to cheat. once upon a time, alierta had insider info, which he used to great advantage. but it was one time, and he, through DTL and pablorod, have sought to tease out other peoples' secrets ever since. even creating an entire adjunct postdoc university program, following (and working with no doubt) alphabet (the owning company that jewed google away from google). they don't appear to manipulate directly any more, but are looking to jump at the temptation, should it come their way again.
still, they appear to be living a nice idling of time peddling data discovery wizardry signals and tools, even going as far as pitching them as privacy tools.
