Navigating the AI Consent Crisis: My Experience with Proton and GitHub
In an era where AI integration is ubiquitous, retaining your privacy is becoming increasingly challenging. My recent encounter with Proton’s Lumo mailing list exemplifies this issue and raises pressing questions about consent.
- Key Highlight: Despite explicitly opting out of Lumo emails, I received unsolicited communications, infringing upon GDPR guidelines.
- The Response: Proton’s support initially suggested I re-check my preferences, only to later claim the email was not categorized as a Lumo update—leaving me frustrated.
- Broader Implications: This isn’t an isolated incident; similar issues arise with platforms like GitHub, emphasizing a disturbing trend in AI where “no” is rarely respected.
As AI continues to penetrate various sectors, we must address the growing trend of non-consent.
