Request: Show sample data in digital channel #3

Great work on DTPR so far!

I was digging into the digital channel and was struck the idea that showing some sample data would go a long way towards alleviating data collection/privacy concerns. Whether it's a few rows of tabular data, or a sample of what a "de-identified" image/video looks like, I feel like users would appreciate the additional transparency and they would leave the page with a deeper and clearer understanding of what is being collected.

Thanks Sevaan, I love this idea. Our approach in many cases has been to link to wikipedia, but we could probably put some samples from WP into the page for DTPR.
