Frankly, this clause seems off-topic. Why not, for instance, deny distribution to covered works that are components of weapons of mass destruction? The whole issue of what constitutes privacy is something of an open issue these days, when everybody submits their corporate shopping ID at the grocery store checkout counter and thinks nothing of having their most everyday habits and activities tracked, profiled, and distributed to anyone willing to pay for them.
