  I hate digging into my credentials, but in the context of online child safety and child exploitation, they matter because governments and child safety lobbyists are railroading everyone with personal opinions based on dangerous ideology. Being a parent doesn't qualify me to say what actually works, what' doesn't, and what the cost is in relation to privacy. I've spent more years building standards, API services, filtering technologies, and content moderation techniques than just about anyone. Very few experts sit at the intersection of internet infrastructure, telecommunications, app security, child exploitation detection technology, and content classification and filtering; I'm one of them. People with my background are being entirely ignored by policymakers for a reason. We know what's technically possible, what's not, and the catastrophic costs of getting it wrong. Security isn't just at odds with convenience, it's almost always fundamentally at odds with privacy. I built my first website 30 years ago, and was introduced to online child safety and content moderation that same year, in 1996, when I joined AOL. At the time, I helped launch new technologies and ran global testing for the launch of AIM, AOL's instant messenger and the internet's first consumer instant messaging app. I co-founded the W3C standard for content labelling and web classification, and in 2004, co-invented the concept of classifying internet accounts (labelling them by risk, identity, or purpose). I foresaw that the future of online trust and safety required filtering accounts, not just websites and web pages. Features like Twitter's verified checkmark and LinkedIn's verification are implementations of this very idea - they just got it wrong. I've run operational calls with The National Center for Missing and Exploited Children (NCMEC) and the US Department of Justice on the automation of monitoring, detection and reporting, and I signed an MOU with NCMEC to help combat exploitation through browser software and mobile security services that my teams built for online child safety. The keyword tracking list Thorn shared with partners came from me over 15 years ago, inherited from a colleague who built it for CEOP while seconded from AOL. I also advised IWF. My team built the first child safety API service for mobile device OEMs, an even deeper kind of device-level scanning than Chat Control. Samsung was set to embed it in every device they sold, and Apple planned to put it in the settings of every iPhone, iPad, and Mac, around 1.3 billion devices between them. So I know what this kind of technology can and can't do on a phone, and I know what it costs in terms of end user privacy. Both deals drifted away because we were too early, one of the hardest things about being a tech founder. Years later, Samsung and Apple built parental controls so good that a parent can now block any app or website on a child's phone in a couple of minutes. When I was interviewed on BBC Newsnight 14 years ago, it was to demonstrate how bad parental controls were. Now I'm telling you they're as good as I could possibly hope for. Most leading security companies license my patents for in-app security, covering more than 50 categories of classification, including anti-phishing, malware, child abuse, pornography, and disinformation. Chat Control 2.0 mandates client-side scanning of links for apps like Signal. Luckily of Signal, they require my permission or face infringing in my patents. I'm *extremely* unlikely (read that as never) to license my patents for the purpose of government mandated censorship. I have declined governments in the past and I will do it again in the future.

  @mar70854f @nemywtf @itskwasi You have to get an undergraduate degree before you go for a PHD retard Zuck and gates were mega geniuses going to harvard. Zuck had a job offer from AOL in high school. Much different from 99.9% of you retards who say “well an immaterial amount of rich people don’t have degrees”

  @grok why is your latency so slow compared to ChatGpt, Gemini, Claude, etc. I wait and wait and wait while you think. Reminds me of AOL dial up in the 90s.

  History tells us that the companies that are early leaders in a software category rarely remain so. Altavista? Excite? InfoSeek? You're old if you remember those, but at the time they were dominant. Then came Yahoo, then Google... Years later. AOL? EarthLink? Compuserve? They were the Internet for most users. Now? Telcos & Cable cos reinvented themselves as consumer ISPs and dial up mostly died. The historical examples go way beyond software. The point is that although OpenAI, Anthropic, Grok/X, Google are dominating AI right now, things change in ways we can't forecast. The next better faster cheaper different AI solution that erases some current leaders probably hasn't been created yet. I do wonder though, who dies first? I'm talking 5-10 year window.

  @PhillipsDe13341 I got an AT&T monthly phone bill once for over $1,000. Turns out that AOL CD for dialup internet that I was using temporarily while my DSL line was being fixed was set to auto-reconnect and had chosen a toll number. AT&T did not back down. So I paid the bill and stopped being an AT&T customer for about 20 years.

  @pe_remek Flat-rate dial-up ran on the same circuit-switched lines as per-minute dial-up. AOL sold $19.95 unlimited in 1996 with the phone network unchanged. If circuit switching forced per-minute billing, that plan could not have existed. It did, and millions bought it. So the meter was a pricing choice, not a property of the wire. It came off dial-up by decision, and Anthropic just announced the same move for its best model: folding it back into a flat subscription.
