    The publish to web feature, while useful, leads to confusion around those new to platform and possibly non native English speakers. The terminology "publish to web" can be confused by instructions to publish report from desktop to web service, which is fine. Publish to web exposes sensitive business data if author is not careful. While there is a secure option that will be coming soon, I propose renaming the feature to "Publish to Public". The term public is a bit clearer as to the audience. Alternative option could be "publish to public web", just something to allow users/businesses to clearly understand what feature does.

    I vote to call it "expose my business on tinterwebs"

    This is a good idea - nevertheless I recommend disabling the publish to web functionality in the tenant settings, just to make sure ...
