As others have stated, I too believe there is no true anonymity. Just like preventing theft, it’s easy to deter someone from taking advantage. It’s a different thing to prevent someone that really wants it.
That said, I’m a believer in the safety aspect of ADSB for myself personally. And while I fear for its implications down the road, at the moment I appreciate the benefit.
For those that want to see what apparently bored people do, see the excerpt copied and pasted below from the ADSB exchange website.
*******
ADS-B Exchange differs from typical flight tracking sites in two primary ways.
First and foremost ADS-B Exchange does not participate in the filtering performed by most other flight tracking websites which do not share data on military or certain private aircraft. Because ADS-B Exchange does not use any FAA data there are no FAA BARR/LADD, military, or other “filters” preventing you from seeing the the data you collected. ADS-B Exchange simply does not accept payment or requests to remove aircraft from public tracking!
Second, we are a community. The data we have comes from volunteers, which is supplied back to the community through APIs. Donations are appreciated as they are used to help cover the costs of the infrastructure, archive, and all of the great things you see when using our site. And best of all feeders are eligible to get a personal use API key at no cost.

Based on that info, you can see they have no intent on letting anyone be Anonymous. The ironic part is I bet you can’t a name and number to call the people running the site.
