so maybe i do know who needs to hear this, but if you're convening an event focused on AI guardrails, data #privacy or sovereignty, open source, rights to personal data, etc., maybe vet your platforms?

attendees should not have to consent to a third party platform to infer #identity, train their AI with participation content, or use NIL for their adverts.

srsly - crowdcast, whatsapp, discord, telegram are not private channels, and they do harvest data. walk your talk, folks.

ends rant....
