The more I hear about Android 15,
the less excited I get for it..

Spying on you :P

That's why I replaced it with MicroG:

Imagine living in China,
where the government is able to request data of each company in their country.

Imagine that China would setup an AI/LLM, to feed all private chat data into it,
and automatically flagging opposition of the government regime.

Imagine a white van appearing in front of your house and disappearing into a concentration camp because you got flagged after expressing your opposition to the government to your mate in a private chat.

All collected data can be abused like that,
or by other means (E.g. a country at war gets hacked, which could lead to leaking critical private information on political/defensive decisions).

To me the question is not if data collected on you will be abused, but rather when will it be abused?

Just having it stored somewhere imposes risks.

Privacy should be a basic human right.
Data collection could be massively abused by oppressive governments.

Not caring about it = Not caring about your rights.

OP I agree with you, it's a great idea imo.
I've been a moderator before on a Discord server with +1000 members, for one of my FOSS projects,
and maintenance against scam / spam bots grew so bad,
that I had to get a team of moderators + an auto moderation bot + wrote an additional moderation bot myself!..

Here is the source to that bot, might be usable for inspiration or just plain usable some other users:

I think it will only be a matter of time before the spam / scam bots catch up to Lemmy,
so it's good to be ahead of the curve with auto-moderation.

However I also partially agree with @dohpaz42, auto-moderation on Reddit is very, uhm, present.
Imo auto moderation should not really be visible to non-offenders.

I own a non-chinese EV and it currently is an unavoidable, unregulated, heap of spyware on wheels, all of them.

The only benefit it has is my data is going to data brokers in the EU, which has some privacy laws, not the Chinese government, which has the ability to request any and all data from all companies in their country.

Happily been using it for a few years by now.

The enhanced privacy, extension and about:config support are great features to have.

Either that, or they might dedicate a whole wing of the museum to all the lawsuits they fired off throughout their history, against independent community fan projects.

Nintendo is a lawsuit company that makes games on the side after all.

Thank you for LibreSpeed! <3
Been using it for a few years now,
and it's become my go-to network speed testing tool

:D

Thank you!
