A Japanese manga artist lost his entire Google account forever after he uploaded private files from an old comic he drew to Google Drive.
Googleβs AI checked the files and flagged them as not allowed. He asked Google to review it again, but they rejected his appeal and banned the account immediately.
He can no longer access years of his private drawings and lost access to many websites and services that used his Google login.
The artist said this is very embarrassing and causes him a lot of trouble. He warned that it might not happen to people who always follow every rule, but others should be careful.
So Google is scanning files that people upload to its cloud storage even if they are supposed to be private. I wonder how long they have been doing this.
π We are going live every month π
The first AMA takes place on Tuesday 20 May at 20:00 UTC, with the second on Wednesday 17 June at 20:00 UTC, both on Microsoft Teams. From July onwards, we'll review and look to alternate between 08:00 UTC and 20:00 UTC each month to broaden global coverage.
Why we'll alternate from July Rotating between 08:00 UTC and 20:00 UTC means no region is locked out two months running. Together, Slot A (08:00 UTC) and Slot B (20:00 UTC) cover every time zone, so the whole community and any interested investors can join. Can't make either? A recording and transcript of highlights will go out after every session. We'll track attendance over time and zero in on the time that works best for the community.

PUBLIC SERVICE ANNOUNCEMENT: Timpi search beta is free to access.
What this means for you
π Regions get results reflecting their interests, not Silicon Valley's
π Emerging topics surface faster than centralised crawlers catch them
π Underserved content gets discovered instead of buried
π Biases baked into traditional engines don't exist here
The more people search, the smarter it gets, for entire communities, not advertisers.
Share with your community, and together let's build a better way - https://t.co/zK8whMitdm
Everyone notices it but nobody says it: your search engine decides what you see before you even type. Not based on what's relevant. Based on what's profitable. We built one that works the other way around.

Breaks down exactly how Timpi's community-driven index works, no tracking, no centralised control, no imposed narratives. Just a search engine shaped by the people who use it.
The search engine the stack is built on is live right now.
No invite. No waitlist. Just search. Timpi is in Open Beta
Every query strengthens an index Big Tech doesn't control.

Two communities just became one.
$NTMPI and $MASQ holders: the merger creates three revenue streams feeding both ecosystems simultaneously.
More users > more search volume > stronger buyback mechanics for both tokens.
This is how it compounds. Check out @KauriHero & @GarethTimpi talk about the merger > https://t.co/wUAncmVZgD
