Since they may leak information in unintended ways, we should not pass the strings captured in screenshot extraction to non-owner views.

Per my comments in e-mail, I don't think we should be uploading them at all. The user just agreed to upload the rectangle.

Implementation note: to remove collection entirely we need to remove the call to util.captureEnclosedText() in shooter.js
