@manton not to bang the drum too loud on this but it is another example of language games being used to deceive.

“By ‘private’ we mean ‘not private’.”

What could private mean if not invisible and inaccessible to any entity apart from the sender and the specified trusted target recipients?

It is often so hard to see how ludicrously flippant and self-serving these language games are because they are so pervasive and so laborious to unwind. I almost nodded off writing this reply…
