<div>If someone exposes his bandwidth usage information to public access, he already harmed the anonymity of *his* relay.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Yet, as the bandwidth recording & display is local to the monitoring instance (with no API provided), even if disclosed to public access, the harm is - according to my understanding of the matter - limited to the node(s) monitored, if at all. How does this (local situation) 'harm the anonymity properties of the [whole] Tor network'?</div>

When you do this, please make it clear to users that making their<br/>
fine-grained bandwidth usage information public may harm the anonymity<br/>
properties of the Tor network.<br/>
