Yes to the "breaking flock" point (#3). It is shocking to me because the whole point of using a lock is to make sure only the people you want to see, see it. I'm guessing FB has a similar control and I know Twitter does, so even people unfamiliar with DW should be fully aware of what "private content" is.

Reposting any of it (or even talking about it outside of f-lock!) is not only unwelcome, it goes explicitly against what the author of the post obviously intended -- if they did not want it to be only visible to the users on their access list they would have made it a public post.

(Again, to second Mucca, I welcome your effort in general, OP. I just think this is an important privacy kink to iron out. Especially with GDPR and all that privacy legislation, there's actual legal points at play here.)
