Of course, I want authorities to be able to stop bad actors, but I also want big tech out of my coms.

This type of balance is hard to find, as it seems it must be all or nothing. Phone calls can be tapped with a judge order, it should be the same for electronic coms. But the phone company doesn't listen to my calls.

If your privacy has limits, say so honestly, instead of marketing it as if it's complete.

You market yourselves as the ethical alternative to Google, criticizing how it disrespects user privacy. So how am I supposed to understand that when I use a VPN to protect my identity, you block me from creating an account? I get that this might be to prevent fraud, but the result is that you're tying my account to my real location from the very first moment.

For example, @davidrevoy 's art gets called AI because of his style. AI steals art, so this style has an official artist. But I do agree that this style is used a lot in other AI slop.

Innocent is a pretty political word. Maybe a free country doesn't track people. I know it doesn't have the same flair. But innocence gets used to separate us all into piles of deserving and undeserving. I'd rather us all join together and crush the oligarchy. It has gotten entirely out of hand.

When a free country surveilles its citizens, it's no longer a free country.
