USER CONTROL Previous: Do not disclose personal user experience without the user's consent. Innovate, develop and advocate for privacy enhancements that put users in control of their online experiences. New: Establish enhancements that allow individuals to control their data and online experiences Context: Removed the sentence about consent, because it is more of an example of enabling control. Removed "advocate for" to simplify and to focus on direct engineering action. Added 'control their data'.
These two changes together make it seem like we're removing guarantees about not disclosing user data without consent. I guess that's not the aim of these changes, but removing statements along the lines of "we won't share/disclose without consent, unless required by law" combined with the "post-Snowden" web (as called out in your original post) makes me uncomfortable.
What can we still guarantee our users, and can we spell that out? The proposed language is fuzzy and has (looking with my engineering eyes) no hard requirements of any kind.
