Seeing this comment downvoted in a privacy community is a little disheartening.

Comments like "If you electronically pay for something and expect anonymity, you are not very, um, educated" is technically true in a descriptive sense maybe, but in a prescriptive sense, the comment tells us "You should have known what were know. You didn't, and you deserve what you got for that."

It seems unhelpful to assume our knowledge is automatically universal, and not a result of some combination of luck and circumstance.
