Gaetan's criticism applies to you here, now. please designate
paragraphs of text which you reply to.

This is exactly for the argument I was struggling to come up with. As
far as I followed the discussion, this was the first time (I
realized?) someone clearly disconnected the argument from the privacy
discussion. Put this way, it makes sense to me, too. For the practical
implications we'd hand over along, with a note of "do whatever you
want with it we don't care". Turns out we do care what someone else
does with the data.
