And in modern times: everybody, including big companies trust the AI APIs from

Google, Microsoft, OpenAI, Anthropic etc. etc.

sure... the contracts saying often there is no saving or learning from the AI API usage. But it's at the end like a "trust me bro" promise.

There is a saying on the internet:

The generation that refused cookies is now giving AI permission to read their emails, scan their local files, and manage their bank accounts.

It seems many have given up...

Luckily "trust me bro" is not a defense in court - there is a thing called "discovery" when they have to prove their claims. The fact is few regulators ever use it, but class-action cases often do.

Guess who's winning?

Companies have been getting increasingly aggressive with ‘destruction as a normal course of business/policy’ to help reduce the impact of that. And that assumes that the people tasked with doing the dirty work are following the policies.

It’s been pretty obvious at the federal level (Signal leaks, etc.) that the folks at the top are explicitly trying to avoid it.
