AI assistants are the archnemesis
of data privacy.

Because AI models are inherent
data collectors.

They rely on large data collection for training, improvement, operation, and customization.

More often than not, this data is collected without clear and informed consent (from unknowing training subjects or from platform users). This data is then sent to and accessed by a private company with many incentives to share and monetize this data.

By using these platforms, we are encouraging them to collect even more nonconsensual data on everyone. This is an important social responsibility to consider. Choose carefully.

@Em0nM4stodon When Google Android uploads your nude pictures to the cloud it also trains on them. You can ask Google to remove them from the cloud, which they may do, but they are never removing them from the model. They don't know how to remove a single picture without rewinding the whole model back to the last version before it was added. And they aren't going to wind back months or years of training data for your single photo.

@chrisp @Em0nM4stodon Yeah, really glad I put the brakes on Google Photos. No more phone backups, all 20 years of shots moved to an encrypted, privacy focused app (Ente.io), then those same pics deleted from Google (trash too!).
Working on email currently: Gmail --> Proton Mail.

@Nead @chrisp @Em0nM4stodon

I know you've already sorted this, but FYI you can backup to Proton Drive (which has a dedicated Photos part of the app) thus replicating Google Photos functionality

@dajb @chrisp @Em0nM4stodon Yes! I have had photos backing up to Proton Drive. Now I need to assess data limits for that plan. Ente auto uploads my Android phone pics so I'm good there. Maybe backing up pics to my self-hosted NextCloud instance? Thoughts on that?

@Nead @chrisp @Em0nM4stodon I'm a fan of Nextcloud in principle but not in practice.

Proton, on the other hand, has been so great that last week, after 11 years, I migrated my business email, calendar, and files over.

Got a blog post half-written, but TL;DR Proton Unlimited allows you to map 3 domains, so I've just done that and used tags/folders to separate personal and business.

@Em0nM4stodon Once it is in the model you don't get to remove it either. You might be ok with Facebook hovering up your data and your family's data now, but when your spouse dies in the future all their data is still in the models. Other people can "resurrect" them, or at least aspects of them.

@Em0nM4stodon I've read that in an Ars Technica post, this quote was from a privacy expert referred to as em 💡.
