Would it be useful to do a broader privacy review of ActivityPub and Mastodon-federation?

@npd @cwebber Hi Nick, that sounds potentially useful, but I don't really know how that would work. Some kinda joint meeting of privacy experts and protocol experts? AP is so abstract, it seems a bit impossible. Privacy + Mastodon, a conversation with Mastodon folks would be much more concrete, but I'd expect the user base has already surfaced everything, probably.
@sandro @cwebber I suggested in that email that a conversation hosted on the Privacy Interest Group (PING) call next week would be one way to go.
I strongly suspect that Mastodon having many users has not meant that all privacy issues are surfaced and resolved. (Indeed, privacy concerns/confusions around the audience of federated toots are common.) But I agree that having an email/teleconference with Mastodon devs and not just ActivityPub could help make it concrete.
