   I can't say I'm massively enthusiastic about Pleroma adopting Mastodon's advisory privacy system. imho advisory privacy is just a bad idea which could end in tears later on.
   
   A couple of years or more ago when the fediverse was a twee world of Free Software enthusiasts advisory privacy might have been ok, but as the fediverse grows and includes more admins with less than honorable intentions this could become more of a problem.
   
   For example, ignoring the advisory privacy could allow rogue admins to then sell "private" data to other parties or dubious agencies for a requisite handling fee. When you don't have cryptographic controls this type of thing could happen.

      @bob Privacy advisory isn't private at all.
