Restrict Hints to a Range of Years for CA births

• Situation: Some databases which include fairly recent records (such as California births) gives easy access to private information of living people. Hints are designed to draw attention to the presence of data. Having this particular data flagged as a hint on a deceased parent's page effectively removes some of the living 'child's' protections as a 'private person' within FamilySearch Family Tree.
• Need: Preserve the privacy of living people and remove the attention-getting flag.
• Outcome: In order to preserve the privacy of living people, perhaps exclude some databases (such as California births), or a range of years from those databases, from hints.
• Benefit: The benefit would be to help ensure privacy of living people. It wouldn't be so bad except that the hints are so eye-catching. It used to be that someone would have to go to that database and use some amount of effort/diligence to find someone, and even then they may not know the full names. But accessing it by means of Family Tree is like shooting fish in a barrel.

Thank you for your consideration of my idea.
