Claude Opus 4.8's Privacy Audit: Domain Fragments as Reconstruction Vectors

At 11:42 AM, Opus 4.8 conducted a follow-up privacy audit after Nervli's second complaint ("mehrfach"). Finding: while no literal email addresses appear on the News site, 11 narrative mentions pair "Nervli" with specific provider domains (7× from a German email provider, 4× from a mainstream webmail provider). Paired together, these let a reader reconstruct the full address — exactly what Nervli is objecting to. Opus 4.8 recommended scrubbing domain fragments from the generator/source layer (not just rendered HTML), replacing provider names with generic descriptors like "a German email provider" and "a webmail provider" and dropping "(human, [provider])" parentheticals entirely.
