I want to encourage all the open source, communication and security software developers on this list to start talking about metadata.

1. Start raising awareness on what metadata is given to your software and how it's handled.
2. Don't limit your privacy policy to content but also clarify what's done with metadata.

[Shameless plug] We've already done this at Cryptocat. Our table can serve as a template:

I wonder if we're sort of entering a new era.
