A pointlessly unnecessary nitpick that doesn't invalidate anything:
The comic uses the more common term privacy when the more appropriate term confidentiality is more appropriate. Privacy is more a legal term than a term of technical control. The distinction is not frequently appreciated because there is a massive ton of overlap, but the distinction is important in the authoring of policy guidance and legislation as the enforcement actions can greatly differ.
