My gut feeling is to not trust it, but I can't point out why. Their clients are labor organizers that should value not getting exploited.

Google is already publicly saying they are using everyone's personal email accounts for training data why should they differentiate anything else if the regulation that does exist doesn't actually manage to effect them from anything else they do to scrounge sources of data

I agree with Reynir that the graphics and the "quantity over quality" style of communication is what constitutes the main parts of the vibe.

Like, what are you even trying to communicate with these? Also, the very American smiles on peoples' faces (but ok I guess it is an American product after all).

That's just the marketing. I don't know about their product.

I agree, that sounds pretty unlikely that they're not using the data! @jowek

I'm curious what those of you with software development experience see @jowek

And i can't see how i can be GDPR compliant in EU. So could be future major problems, after years of onboarding.
Same with the whole potential "deauthorization of the service", could end up in a loss of data, like the recent microsoft one-cloud situation for non-profits.
And then explicit restriction of use for any 'unlawful activity' and 'damage or falsify Company rating' is also a bit shady.

And Solidarity Software Inc. is just dirty in itself too 🙂

There are other red flags in the terms, and not the comrade kind. https://www.solidarity.tech/terms
And then its closed source. The polished aesthetic gives a vibe coding vibe too. But thats pure speculation from my side.

In general i makes me wonder if there ever be good tech under us law again... Maybe its just a long time since i read the terms of closed source projects.

Zetkin is open source, run by a foundation. I like the explicit values mentioned: https://zetkin.org/en/foundation

Not good. The data-brooker system is on of the biggest data sources to destroy privacy and enable surveillance capitalism and government mass surveillance.

But i dont like i cant find a clear description of owenership and governance.

I work a bit with zetkin, which i think is very good.
I know its used by jordskred, enhedslisten, vänsterpartiet mfl.. And its GDPR compliant and made in EU (sweden based).

They are friendly if you reach out to them.
