Should iNat obscure birds hidden/not hidden in eBird?

Anything is possible, it is a matter of if the site decides it is something they want to implement, and allocate development resources to.

Even locked taxa that exist now (birds, mammals etc), any curator can still change geoprivacy on these groups. Changes here are not considered changes to the taxonomy, which is what is restricted.
