Comment (by SergeyBiryukov):

 In [changeset:"43624" 43624]:
 {{{
 #!CommitTicketReference repository="" revision="43624"
 Privacy: When clicking a confirmation link for a privacy request, return a
 `WP_Error` object if the link has expired.

 Returning a string caused a success message to be displayed instead of the
 correct error message.

 Props desrosj.
 Merges [43623] to the 4.9 branch.
 Fixes #44685.
