Ahoy Dave et al.,

Great questions!

1. We provide the detail on the share page at a high level. We are super
careful on the result pages though to make sure that no PII/sensitive data
is shared so it is sanitized compared to the detailed result page - here's
a Speedtest from Burien, WA as an example:
https://www.speedtest.net/result/i/5158723178
- We have the platform - iOS. We don't share the OS version for
privacy/security reasons - what if someone shares they are on a vulnerable
OS version?
- Provider - should be visible, assuming our detection works correctly.
While we have some clever overlays, GeoIP is painful.
- Link technology - we do capture the link technology on the test result,
however if someone has a good contact within Apple on the radio data, I do
have a question there.
- Loaded latency - we show the IQM value, but not the min max for now. I'll
ask our Product team why that decision was made.

- The detailed result page has a lot more detail if you scroll, but we
recommend against sharing screenshots of that as it can contain sensitive
data like precise location and IP addresses.

2. Agreed - we actually do those types of marketing callouts; here's an
example:

With that said, it's all over the place on how people share the data in the
thread 😆.

Cheers,

Brennen Smith VP Technology
