> The two hops, the two companies, are already acting in partnership, so what is there technically in the relay setup to stop the two companies from getting together—either voluntarily or at the secret command of some government—to compare notes, as it were, and connect the dots?
The OHTTP scheme does not _technically_ prevent this. It increases the number parties need to cooperate to extract this information, hoping it would be caught somewhere in the pipeline.
and if a government say already forced ISPs to collect metadata about who connects to whom and when, I imagine they don't even need to bother getting data from the relay hosts
