“Build Abuse Observability From Day 1”

expect abuse. You don’t have to be popular if you have these, then expect abuse will come.

AI is going to amplify this like the number of resumes it can apply for.

@kjaymiller oof. really did not enjoy that ellipsis

@glyph @kjaymiller I discussed that ellipsis with my attorney when I first incorporated in 2016. It can be mitigated, carefully.

I was offering Tahoe-LAFS, which has the curious property that file-storage providers (my business) don't necessarily have the ability to read data uploaded by users (my customers). We discussed how this works, including the related example of Signal successfully convincing the USA that it cannot read its customers' text messages.

However, we still had to set up a basic conceptual pipeline for law-enforcement requests, even though I never received one. We assumed that a court *could* order me to destroy encrypted file data once they had identified it through other means, and also that DMCA requests could possibly be lawful but might be worth fighting depending on how poorly-filled-out they were.

I also had to publish terms of service. It's not enough to comply with the law; I also had to put customers on notice.
