Re: [patwg-charter] Align the definition of privacy to laws (#31)

I believe this was already discussed and resolved (between March and May): https://github.com/patcg/patwg-charter/issues/6

A very brief summary of why citing a particular privacy law for a privacy definition is not a promising way forward: users may have privacy interests beyond what any particular regulation puts forward; the Web is worldwide and no particular law applies to all jurisdictions; the laws suggested (e.g. GDPR) do not define privacy or attempt to define privacy; in some countries privacy is primarily protected not through specific legislation; privacy-by-design principles included in some laws expect and encourage development of privacy technology beyond the legislative text; privacy is a complex and contested concept and we won't be able to determine ahead of time what privacy means in every context.
