And perhaps eww should have a porn, I mean anonymous, mode BTW, I think using "porn" as a humorous justification for secrecy is detrimental since it promotes the view that secrecy is only used for objectionable activities, along the lines of "I don't need secrecy because I have nothing to hide". The recent Cambridge Analytica blip (it seems to have already disappeared from the media, sadly) is a prime example of why "no-secrecy" ultimately means "no democracy" or "no power". Stefan "who does realize that EWW's history probably won't be shared on Facebook, so maybe he didn't choose the best moment to bring up this general issue"
