I already flagged it to ask the same. Not sure why it has not.

Edit: Oh, I know. This is a news article also appearing elsewhere in the news section of Privacy Guides. So merging it with the same link for us here won’t make sense for readers of the website through Ghost on which PG is hosted where this originally appears.
