Why the first one?

Theoretically, zk-snarks offers more privacy but in practice FCMP++ is more likely to achieve maximum privacy generally speaking.

So I was slightly inaccurate.

What makes zk-snarks have potentially slightly more privacy than FCMP? I've heard this before but never heard the details

I don't see why that would be the case, might be wrong though...

This just misses the point...

It's not about comparing protocols it's about everything around it. Even with the best protocol you aren't really anonymous if it's only you using it (wink wink Zcash).

Really lacks nuance.
