It does not! I think it is more like:
- Don't sign stopwatching.us, or do anything else too US-focused.
- Internally, do be careful with (or as necessary improve) WMF's own
privacy processes. 3. Externally, do (unspecified something).
For #2, see the discussion on the privacy policy revision: https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Privacy_policy/Call_for_input_%282013%29
For #3, we're still very open to doing that unspecified something. We just don't see any consensus on what the unspecified something is, other than "not something US-focused".
So please, we're definitely open to anything around #3 that can get consensus, like (say) James' suggestion that we promote prism-break. We would actively *like* to do that (several people here have signed various petitions as individuals, for example). We just don't see what that is yet.
Hope that helps clarify- Luis
For me, "don't be US centric" doesn't mean "don't do things oriented toward the USA". It means "don't *only* do things oriented toward the USA". This was also the impression I received reading through the comments; not that one should refuse to engage with US-focused actions, but that one should not *solely* engage with US-focused actions.
YMMV.
