Comment (by Clorith):

 Curious, but by hosting these, and loading them from WordPress.org, are we
 not just shifting the tracking concern off Google's services and onto
 WordPress' services instead?

 There's a warning that you are allowing access between Google Fonts and
 your site, but not dotorg.

 There are some gray areas that allow for update systems etc, but this
 isn't an update system, so I think we need to be aware of that as well,
 the emoji thing is already contentious in some privacy-oriented areas, and
 if this is another thing that gets blocked, how will users get previews?
