What exactly does the feature do? Share (some of?) your data with people you seem to be related to? If that data is sensitive, it seems a pretty risky thing to share even with relatives who you know quite well.

One thing reading Hacker News has made clear is that people have wildly differing opinions of what "sensitive" and "risky" mean.
