 Unwanted listing of folders in wp-content is ususally prevented via a file
 index.php with a php comment `// Silence is golden.` which does not return
 any output.

 * wp-content/index.php
 * wp-content/plugins/index.php
 * wp-content/themes/index.php
 * ...

 The new storage folder for personal data uses index.html with the text
 `Silence is golden.`

 * wp-content/uploads/wp-personal-data-exports/index.html

 Due to consistency the file index.html should not generate any output = be
 empty.

 Not sure why index.html is used here at all, maybe to avoid putting a .php
 in uploads folder? Maybe somebody knows the reason, thanks for a heads up.
