Thanks - it looks like there are no real compatibility concerns from perspective of sites _breaking_ for users. Given that, a PSA for this change sounds fine to me.

later,
Mike

Most users should not notice a difference. The main difference is going to be which ads are allowed to win Protected Audience auctions. Some non-k-anonymous ads that would have previously won the Protected Audience auction will not win and the auction will return a different, k-anonymous ad as the winner. In the case where there are no k-anonymous bids in an auction then that auction will return without a winner. Protected Audience auctions already return with no winner in some cases, such as when there are no bids, so this does not introduce a new behavior.

    Hi Russ,

    Can you say more about the compatibility implications for such a
    change? AFAIU, things shouldn't "break" for users or throw errors
    behind the scenes, correct?

    thanks,
    Mike

    K-anonymity enforcement has long been a part of the Protected
    Audience API’s plan for improving user privacy by limiting ads
    that can win Protected Audience auctions to those ads that are
    k-anonymous. The k-anonymity enforcement feature limits the
    ability of advertisers to target specific users by requiring each
    ad be shown to a minimum number of users. This enforcement will
    initially apply to up to 20% of unlabeled traffic only, meaning
    the groups that are part of Chrome-facilitated testing
    
<https://developers.google.com/privacy-sandbox/setup/web/chrome-facilitated-testing>for
    third-party cookie deprecation will not be enforced for
    k-anonymity during the testing period. After the testing period,
    enforcement will apply to all traffic (see timeline details at
    
https://developers.google.com/privacy-sandbox/relevance/protected-audience-api/k-anonymity
    
<https://developers.google.com/privacy-sandbox/relevance/protected-audience-api/k-anonymity>).
