Something like that, yes. Anything to where someone watching cannot
tell what a person is reading from a web site... even better if one
cannot tell who is reading it. Anonymizing proxies would also be
nice.
There's also less worry about secure transactions, since if
everything's encrypted it's harder to tell if a transaction is taking
place, viewing porno or subversive or religious, literature, or if
you're just reading something mundane.
So much for vaporware, though.

So is fast-than-light travel, but only if it's implemented.
