 Similar to #43919, the new Privacy Policy page may not be appropriate for
 single-site admins in some Multisite use cases. For example, networks like
 WordCamp.org and WordPress.com will probably want to provide a single
 policy that covers all sites (using the `privacy_policy_url` filter). When
 that's done, the admin UI on individual sites becomes unnecessary, and may
 confuse admins when they see that their changes don't take effect.

 We could follow r43085 and require a new capability for editing the
 privacy policy, which would be given to Administrators in single-site
 installs, but only to Super Administrators in Multisite installs. If the
 Super Admin wanted to delegate setting a privacy policy to individual site
 admins, they would need to use a plugin to modify the capabilities.

 Are there any use cases of Multisite where that would cause a problem, or
 any better solutions?
