So the difference is that they are renaming secret to private to reflect that they will be scanning the content of groups to review for content?

“the company has built a new tool called Group Quality, which scans all groups for content that breaks the platform's community standards — regardless of privacy settings”

I think the goal of renaming is to make it easier for people to understand. So when you post/comment in a group, you know exactly who will see it.

Not sure why Group Quality was included in this PR.
