I totally agree with you on the point that no actual content is involved in Atlas measurements. In that sense, Atlas is in deed much less problematic than the work on web censorship. However, I recall (I tried and failed to find the reference for the moment being) that in France, some type of metadata might be as well sensitive, say a URL, and that’s why I mentioned DNS measurements previously.
