Description
On wordpress.org Rosetta sites Jetpack is activated with the sharing feature and enabled counts. This is sharing the IP address with Facebook for example because the request for the count is send. This is not documented in the privacy policy.

Until this is fixed by a new privacy policy we could add this code to disable the counts:
add_filter( 'jetpack_sharing_counts', '__return_false' );

I don't see any sharing counts in the https://wordpress.org/news/ and no request going to Facebook in the network tab. Can someone confirm that the above code is used?

After rechecking I see graph.facebook.com (besides Google Fonts, Gravatar, WP.com and Google Tagmanger). But I can't find this documented in the privacy policy.
WordPress.org News is using the Sharing feature from Jetpack so I assumed I would find the Privacy Policy text for this item from https://jetpack.com/support/for-your-privacy-policy/ somewhere in the WordPress.org privacy policy.
The text is updated on this page and the mentioned Github issue is fixed:

We just need to merge it in our policy I think. Can someone help here? Maybe @garrett-eclipse ?
Changing component since is not specific to Rosetta.
