When Tumblr announced they were planning to federate, I contacted them and we had a meeting. I told them they needed to put user safety first and foremost in all feature and protocol level decision making and gave them some pointers. I don't know the result of that or if it was effective but I'm glad I did it.
I would like to get a chance to yell about this stuff to Meta, too, you know?
@darius Thank you for sharing all this!
For whatever it's worth, I wonder if there's some workable way to adapt warrant canaries to NDAs. https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2014/04/warrant-canary-faq
What sort of collaborative system might let trustworthy, insightful folks like you and Are0h balance "adherence to NDA restrictions" and "transparent communication under legal constraints"?
