...
Introduction
------------
Privacy lists are a flexible method for blocking communications.
Originally known as mod\_privacy and bundled with Prosody, this module
is being phased out in favour of the newer simpler blocking (XEP-0191)
protocol, implemented in [mod\_blocklist][doc:modules:mod_blocklist].
Configuration
-------------
None. Each user can specify their privacy lists using their client (if
it supports XEP-0016).
