but what to tell those in ICE detention camps? not worth the effort really depends on the agency, the politics and the situation

AI is not inevitable. Nothing in human societies is inevitable because we design them. Healthcare can be free for the public. Books can be bought instead of bombs. Universities can be free for students, and they can even receive a stipend to live off. Don't let companies dictate the future.

still, email won't die

that's true for most digital technology, especially networked. Only few things are design for privacy in the first place. Everything else is a workaround. And in the end, a subpoena will make even those tumble and fall most of the time.

I'd know only of Proton and Tutanota, now calle Tuta, that have zero-access encrypted storage for your mails in place. In the end, you can't control what's not on your machines.

true. And how many have adapted that? not even S/MIME is widespread.
But on the other hand, most mail hosters just leave all your data as plaintext in your account or hold the encryption keys. I'm not speaking of hotmail and gmail, where we have records of how they abuse that data

The House of Lords Digital & Communications Committee just published their report on AI, copyright & the creative industries, and their conclusions could not be clearer.

I know that struggle.
But, you may even undo it via NamΓ„ndG if you want. You may also just publish under your old name after you changed it at marriage without any implications. It's only that institutions like universities struggle to understand you got another name than your legal name.

So, if you can't host you own digital infrastructure off shore, payed anonymously for, I still consider proton to be a viable option. End to end encrypted mails is something not many commercial providers will let you use, at least not without putting seriously money or efforts in it

Payment options | Proton Find out which payment methods and currencies you can use for your paid Proton subscription. How to pay with card, PayPal, Google Pay, Bitcoin, cash, bank transfer.

Btw you can even pay subscriptions (if you need to use their service beyond what's free) by sending them cash proton.me/support/paym...
Something that is not possible in other countries and that not many companies, even if they'd be legally allowed to do, will let you do.

and this should everyone make thinking about why Merz is advocating a social media ban for minors in Germany. It's not about protecting them. It is the vehicle to introduce kyc obligations to social media and therefore collect even more data about people. Verified data linked to trusted credentials

Proton was forced by legal court order to confirm the address, known to the FBI and linked to the protests, was used to pay for their service. The problem is not proton. The problem is KYC, which never was about protecting minors in the first place. It was always about surveillance. That's why

Kyc is always a threat, to all. That's why they tell you it's about protecting minors. You can't be against the protection of minors, can you?
In the end, it's about surveillance. It always is. The 3letters, the companies, the govt, they want to have a way to know what all people are doing.

We can. But you have to be more careful about what traces you leave

They are legally required to keep that data. I would also prefer them to stick to anonymous payment options only or state clearly that some payment data can't be encrypted and must be handed over if forced by court order.
But you know what happens when you offer only crypto and cash as payments?

When the Future Feels Foreclosed: AI Resignation and the Power to Act This article develops the concept of β€˜AI resignation’ to capture how young people encounter AI not only as a helpful or flawed tool, but as an overpowering and seemingly inevitable force that can for...

Happy to share a new paper with @awitschas.bsky.social & @rainermuehlhoff.bsky.social.

We introduce AI resignation as a form of subjectivity that hollows out young people’s self-efficacy and, as an affective formation, sustains power in digital capitalism.

That won't happen. They are legally required to keep them for some time.

The @timnitgebru.bsky.social site is probably pretty appropriate in this case. Vox has a deal with OpenAI.
