using AI

so close and yet so far

Yes, I'm sure random commentors on the internet know better than the NSA what an appropriate use of AI is when it comes to cyber security...

What about privacy and actual freedom of speech or curtailling corporate cyberintrusion into oir lives? Any of that?

[–] Kecessa@sh.itjust.works 15 points 13 hours ago

You have freedom of speech where the government can give it to you, stop expecting freedom of speech on platforms owned by private interests, that's not how freedom of speech works.

Freedom and privacy were cancelled with Citizens United. I suggest you take up your concerns with the corporate dictatorship who doesn't give a shit.

Oh hey, it's literally requiring the government agencies to do the exact same thing we have been doing in the corporate space these past several years.

Sounds like less than that. I read it as self-attestation for the most basic processes.

I was thinking to myself “so they just have to keep doing what they’re doing” but my second thought was more in line with your comment.
