I'm struggling to understand what exactly is going on here.  In another administration this would be a big story and we'd be talking about it.  In this one I bet it'll disappear.  [image]

But privacy hasn't been forgotten, for this obviously intensely personal and sensitive content.  The document acknowledges that it's a “right”!  And then devotes a solid paragraph to informing developers that they should try really hard to protect it.  [image]
