should not be judged poorly for not having had the right opportunity to
defend users in court the way the report defines it.
On the second point: we regularly defend user privacy and we regularly defend users in court. Because of this, we have never taken a privacy issue to court - so far, we have always been able to talk them out of it or convince them it is not worth the trouble before it gets that far. We are successful at this because (1) we have a very good record of winning court cases, so they do not have a good chance of winning and (2) we collect so little user information, and we delete it quickly, so we are usually able to convince them that they won't get anything useful from us even if they did win.

and more in general of this program: https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Legal_and_Community_Advocacy/Legal_Fees_Assi...
are not rated because they are not strictly privacy-related?
