Yeah, that made if more difficult to read then it already was. Ironic that, at least by my understanding of ironic it is.
My biggest problem is availability. I think opening it to Australia, and other countries would prompt growth.

Too me this is extremely creepy. It reminds of the Resident Evil security system, or the male equivalent.

I do doubt how well it would work, for example; telling the difference between laughing and crying, telling the difference between sadness and anger.

But I don't know too much about this, or what's currently going on in the field so perhaps somebody made a breakthrough. Or this may be the breakthrough.

I think that reporting the bug and then waiting approximately 2 weeks with no follow up from them warrants a public post so developers are forced to fix it.

Though I'm a cruel bastard, and I think most people would have sent off an email inquiring about the progress. But in this case it seems it would have made no difference as the mail server was down...

I have advice, but no experience. And I'm afraid I can't give you life changing advice based on something my mind jumped on.

Exactly, in fact nothing you can do can protect your content (well short of not letting them view it). As anyone can get a screen recorder and capture it.
