These types of issues come up a lot in well-meaning organizations. What they don't realize is: "You an include the most people by having the narrowest platform."

So if you're a "privacy technology" group, anything not related to privacy technology should not be part of your focus.

Ever Civil War, for example, has two (or more sides). Now the Tor group has to pick one. If they were simply interested in privacy technology, they wouldn't have to.

You see a similar thing with Codes of Conduct, or "inclusiveness" initiatives. Why can't a Python conference be about Python and only about Python?

Because human beings write Python code and attend Python conferences.
