The manifesto primarily refers to cloud providers, so I'm not really sure that we can put it into effect ourselves. However, what I would like to do is work on our own privacy policy (which we could implement), and to hopefully use that as the basis of collaborations with the user data manifesto people in the future. Also, we can help by doing marketing and promotional work, if there are announcements that we can recirculate and so on. That would be a good thing to talk to the Engagement Team about.How about adding a small emblem in the list of account providers (in Settings -> Online Accounts), for those cloud providers respecting the user data manifesto? And that emblem could be clickable, opening a browser to the manifesto website, in case users are interested?
Yes; I was also thinking of adding a link to open each provider’s privacy policy, and potentially prompting the user if they add a cloud provider whose privacy policy is particularly bad. That’s what made me wonder whether similar changes could be made in other modules — hence the suggestion for a GNOME goal. It could cover a superset of privacy concerns, rather than just User Data Manifesto compliance in modules. I’ll try and create a draft goal later. Philip
