I wish Google stopped talking about the "Privacy Sandbox". It's not a coherent idea, just stuff thrown together. It sits weirdly with the standards process (are proposals from others in it?). People think it's a product or an architecture, confuse parts for the whole, etc.

There's good and bad in that grab-bag, and same outside of it (though I'm not sure what the boundary is intended to be). But naming it that way makes it look like there's an overall plan. That's turning out to be misleading more than anything else.

This is probably futile, but I'd like to ask: Can we stop talking about the "Privacy Sandbox"? I know Google used (uses?) the term but… I'm a Web & Privacy guy through & through and I have no clue what that name is supposed to mean. "Vague grab bag of specs that may help"? 🧵
