 Imagine a scenario where you have parameters representing a product
 name and a hash of arbitrary data associated with that product, and
 you want to whitelist the product name attribute and also the whole
-data hash. The strong parameters API doesn't let you directly
-whitelist the whole of a nested hash with any keys, but you can use
-the keys of your nested hash to declare what to whitelist:
+data hash:
 
 ```ruby
 def product_params
-  params.require(:product).permit(:name, data: params[:product][:data].try(:keys))
+  params.require(:product).permit(:name, data: {})
 end
 ```
