 for site owners to opt-in, but we expect them to know exactly how each
 plugin treats what data and what data might be sensitive and how to
 exclude it?
 >> WordPress users have ability to exclude content from search engines as
 to set NOINDEX meta tag on pages they don't want them to index. This
 feature is just about getting the content quickly indexed in all search
 engines adopting https://www.indexnow.org/. Instead of having Search
 Engine crawlers crawling billions of WordPress pages everyday to discover
 if the content has change this is about guiding search engines to the
 content which has changed to speed up indexing and get the content
 indexed. Wordpress users are still in control and more in control as they
 don't have to wait to search engines to discover and have the latest
 content reflected in search engines.

 > Look, I support SEO wholeheartedly. But if site owners are going to have
 that level of responsibility, it cannot be on-by-default. You have to give
 them a meaningful choice / actually make sure that they know they have a
 choice.
