I agree it's not for the developers to parse the information, it's for
the station operator. Privacy is an individual choice and shouldn't be
dictated.
Rather than a none or everything choice surely it then shouldn't be hard
to add some checkboxes so users can select what gets published or not?
That way everyone is happy for what should be relatively minor work to
implement.
(I should say that I'm not bothered for myself but then I don't own a
$kkkk top of the range rig that I'd rather not publicise to potential
miscreants...)

Mike,
That makes sense: if you don't want to publish your private
information, then don't enable pskreporting. That is totally in the
station operator's control, is it not?
To expect the developers to parse which information should be sent to
pskreporter is unrealistic.
Most spots already include (in addition to location information),
antenna info and software identification, where's the harm in
including Rig/Radio? If one doesn't want that info public, then don't
PUBLISH it.
I don't know what is planned for the future, but it
certainly shouldn't be any big secret (such as power output). As far
as ham radio is concerned what must be kept private and why? (since
the above info is already being revealed). Where does one draw the line?
I think your solution is the simplest: if you don't want to share your
information, (which already includes your rough location, and software
you are running, and your Callsign (therefore your Name, etc.)), then
don't enable PSKReporter.
I'm not sure, but I don't think PSKreporter is uploaded by default,
you have to choose to upload...I think. If that's not the case, I
would respond to those who are concerned about privacy by making the
next iteration of WSJT-X default to NOT upload to PSKReporter.
