Odd description in README #270

The first line of your README states "Differential privacy is the gold standard definition of privacy protection". This doesn't seem correct to me.

"Not tracking" is generally accepted as the gold standard definition of privacy protection. Differential privacy is nice, but it's obviously less private than never tracking at all in the first place.

I think that you should remove or re-word this sentence in your README.
