Neither here nor in the other thread have you provided a
*self-contained* example of what you think is wrong.  I experimented
with a function like your example here and couldn't see anything that
looked wrong to me.

As far as this bit goes:

> FALSE IN (
>     SELECT is_private
>     FROM public.profiles AS p
>     WHERE p.user_id = user_id
> )

you do realize that "user_id" here will be resolved as p.user_id
because that's the most closely nested source of such a column?
So that WHERE clause will not provide any useful filter.

Your function example doesn't have that bug, but your original
policy definition looks like it might.
