>This isn’t the first time that Google has used disingenuous arguments to suggest that a privacy protection will backfire. We’re calling this move privacy gaslighting, because it’s an attempt to persuade users and policymakers that an obvious privacy protection—already adopted by Google’s competitors—isn’t actually a privacy protection.

Exactly. Firefox and Safari have both implemented and keep improving the type of fingerprint protection that Google is throwing their hands in the air about.

This summary is a thorough response, pointing out just how ridiculous and meritless the original post[1] from Google was.
