Comment (by hnla):

 Further thoughts:
 I'm going to argue that the principle of hiding this activity data based
 on this meta option ought to be removed. If it's mooted that it is not the
 best approach why is it being used, why indeed is there the notion of
 privacy attempted when it's based on a setting that I would hazard a guess
 few site owner/users are aware of, at least as a setting that provides
 this activity behaviour. Do users expect to be able to hide blogs? would
 they if it were a plain vanilla WP/MS install? This is a perceived
 requirement that BP introduces yet we don't explicitly offer the option,
 we don't say "check this box it will remove blog activity from the stream"
