To obscure a person’s identity, the company said it will inject a small amount of "noise," or randomness, to what the user does — so each little interaction, on its own, is meaningless

This seems like a system-level implementation of the recent "Ruin my Search History" that was on here a few days ago[1]. I like it in theory as it seems to give users plausible deniability on any activity, but I think it would only help if used in addition to other policies.
