> people need to get it in their heads that they're not chatting with their secret BFF

I see constant ads on video platform (particularly youtube/tiktok) about llm chat apps, from friends, dating, romance and everythkng inbetween; that's personal.

People need to be reminded constantly if they use such apps that they are participating in easier mass surveillance, profiling and AI training.

Problem is that even not using those apps, the apps you currently use might have turned more hostile.

It wasn't technically feasible to scan personal chats easily, other than grepping keywords which must have had a bajillion false positives. Now you can get everything autoscanned at scale.

How do you get that through to someone who doesn't even understand that mass surveillance and profiling is a problem? Or to young people who have only lived in a society of mass surveillance?

The only way is for them to suffer consequences of mass surveillance.

But then we have to as well ={
