@mvellank@noahrshinn You all are stupid that say it’s an Iranian Proxy. Freaking Iranians don’t even have internet, the mullahs keep shutting it off or severely restricting it. Iran is under sanctions. Anyone saying that they are going to us an Iran proxy service must be a mullah agent from Iran.
@mvellank@noahrshinn I would call Verizon and ask them to give you the IP address of the login attempt then check if the ip is associated with an Iranian ASN.
Instinct is hosted on Vercel.
More importantly, the terms explicitly authorize Instinct to:
access and interact with third-party services on the user’s behalf,
copy/index information from those services, exchange information with them and take actions on those services.
The terms go even further. Users appoint the Instinct service as their agent to enter into agreements, commitments and transactions on their behalf
I WOULD NOT TRUST INSTINCT
Instinct’s current privacy policy explicitly says its autonomous assistant may access:
messages and emails
private communications
audio/voice data
payment information
usernames and passwords
third-party accounts
health-related information
device information
IP addresses
keystrokes
clicks
cursor positions
precise geolocation, if permitted
There is also a newer U.S. regulatory regime worth mentioning. DOJ’s Data Security Program, 28 CFR Part 202, has been effective since April 8, 2025. Iran is one of the designated countries of concern, and the program restricts certain commercial arrangements that give countries of concern access to Americans’ bulk sensitive personal data or U.S. government-related data.
I’m sorry but all of these excuses are BS. No legitimate company is going to send internet traffic through Iran. Iran is under U.S. sanctions and any company doing so would risk having there operation closed. I would report this to the FBI and homeland security @FBI@DHSgov
Iran is subject to extensive U.S. sanctions administered by the Treasury Department’s Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC). As a baseline, 31 CFR § 560.204 prohibits U.S. persons and companies from directly or indirectly supplying goods, technology, or services to Iran unless an exception or authorization applies. Importing Iranian-origin services is also generally prohibited under § 560.201.
@theo@vansh22b Dude don’t waste your time on him. He appears to be so successful in his own business that he’s got the time to waste on pulling others down. There’s a reason why American companies outsource level one customer service to India and nothing more.
@thsottiaux I have two pro 20x accounts. a month I could use one for 3.5 days running 24 hours a day and then the second one for another 3.5 days. That always gave me an account to use. Now I’m burning through an accounts weekly usage in 12 hours. I’m using xhigh sol and not on fast. Something must have changed. I thought you said that you guys did some performance improvements and we were supposed to to see even more usage improvement. That doesn’t seem to have happened.
