These are very common questions, so I thought I might as well publish my raw answers. I’d like to preface this by saying that privacy is neither a binary, nor a linear thing. Privacy is a multi-facetted issue and comparing two systems is difficult, so a tradeoff may be sensible in one setting it may not be in another.
