Re: [patwg-charter] Ben Savage: Need to define Privacy (#6)

The adjective “unwanted” is going to end up carrying more water than you might expect or…_want_. Determining and subsequently demonstrating whether something is wanted or not is less than straightforward and, as it relates to digital advertising, explosive and in flux. I suggest removing “unwanted” or at least not using a euphemism for consent, which this group is not scoped to design for in any sort of holistic, consistent across all data processing manner. User controls are certainly important to consider as we advance designs for individual purpose limited APIs. For example, I think @benjaminsavage’s example that IPA shouldn’t work if user agent storage or device storage is cleared might be something we choose to standardize. But we can do that without adding ambiguity to the charter.
