LOS ANGELES — If there’s one issue that adult entertainment creators and consumers care about, it is privacy. Unfortunately, all manner of busybodies, snoops and spies around the world care about personal privacy as well, but from a different perspective.

A case in point comes from an open letter to Facebook from U.S. Attorney General William Barr, acting U.S. Homeland Security Secretary Kevin McAleenan, U.K. Home Secretary Priti Patel and Australia’s Minister for Home Affairs Peter Dutton.
