At one point, I know someone who wanted to give money to a large medical organization so that they could show their patients the tradeoff between various interventions. (efficacy vs side-effects).

It was going to be donated money to build an app that belonged to the institution.

The institution would not let their own researches publish the data on the app even though it was anonymous. They didn't want to take the risk.

It would be great if this lead to accepted protocols that made it so that people didn't have to think about it. "Oh yeah, we'll share it using DP" and then people could move ahead using data.
