So in France you will not be able to send your friend gibberish text that only you and your friend understand. Will they also ban the ability to make new languages that only you and your friends understand. Will they also ban whispering?
Humans already subjugate other humans and animals to so much pain and suffering, why would they care about AI?
I don't think pain can be felt without the ability to have emotions, and no emotions are possible without personality (that "I" feeling), until AIs can feel real emotions and have a personality than they won't ever be able feel pain.
I don't think one thing will solve it, but everyone who knows better can contribute in their own. For example by teaching people about privacy, encryption and free software. Writing books, doing podcasts aimed at the general public to promote privacy tech. Talking to your local government and municipalities, become the local expert and proposing policies.
The RFC addresses security, but does not mention anything about privacy.
I think the scheme ultimately boils down to trusting the server/instance.
It would be great if users don't have to share the actual number with the server,
a hash or something like that but that would make it impossible to verify the number and verification is required to prevent spoofing.
Another way maybe is to have a trusted 3rd party (something like EFF, LetsEncrypt) that can be used by users to validate their numbers and applications can get the hashes from there.
Curious, what distros where affected by npm supply chain attacks?
