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

	Good thoughts! I guess you are in a decent position to assess which parts are sensitive and offer a "generate sanitized detail page to share", where e.g. you remove enough of IP addresses to make it hard to abuse (heck, just resolve the AS number of the endpoints of the measurement and report that).
