I don’t know how to increase the impression on this tweet. But this is an extremely urgent call I’m urging everyone to speak up about:

Iran is at war. 90 million people have had NO internet for 14 days.

They can’t warn each other about attacks.

They can’t call their families.
They can’t tell the world what’s

Internet experts inside Iran are telling me the outside world and @elonmusk can actually help. This is how:

The solution exists NOW:
✅ 650+ satellites ready
✅ Works with regular phones
✅ One FCC signature away

@googlemaps changed the name of the longest street in Tehran (and one of the longest in the world) from "Valiasr" to "Pahlavi" street, its original pre-Islamic revolution name

🚨 Holy shit… Stanford just exposed that every major AI company is using your private conversations to train their models by default.

They analyzed the privacy policies of OpenAI, Google, Meta, Anthropic, Microsoft, and Amazon. Reviewed 28 separate documents across all 6 companies. The findings are worrisome.

Every prompt you type. Every file you upload. Every personal detail you share. All of it feeds directly into model training the moment you hit send.
That health question you asked

ChatGPT at 2am? Training data.

Legal situation you described to Claude? Training data.

The photo you uploaded to Gemini? Training data.

Some companies retain your conversations INDEFINITELY. Amazon, Meta, and OpenAI have no confirmed deletion timeline for certain chat data. Your most private conversations could sit on their servers forever.

It gets worse for kids. Four out of six companies allow children aged 13-18 to use their chatbots, and most don’t treat children’s data any differently. Kids’ conversations are likely getting fed into model training by default. Kids who can’t legally consent to it.

Here’s something most people missed: enterprise customers are opted OUT of training by default. You, the consumer paying $20/month? Opted IN. Companies paying thousands?

Protected automatically. There’s a two-tiered privacy system and you’re on the wrong side of it.

OpenAI even frames the opt-in with guilt. Their settings page says “Improve the model for everyone.” Stanford’s researchers flagged this as a textbook dark pattern designed to make you feel bad for protecting your own data.

Meta’s contractors told reporters they routinely see identifiable personal information in the chat data they review. Journalists were able to positively identify at least one real person from chat transcripts shared with them.

The privacy policies themselves? Stanford had to dig through 6 separate documents just for OpenAI alone. Most real disclosures were buried in sub-policies no normal person would ever find. The researchers said it was challenging for THEM to piece it together. For consumers? “Practically impossible.”

Only Microsoft explicitly stated they try to remove personal data like names, phone numbers, and addresses before training.

The rest are either vague about it or completely silent.

UPDATE: Iran Internet shutdown

Continuing to see a small, but steady restoration of traffic for Iran as the country rolls out its internet whitelisting system to police connectivity.
#DigitalBlackoutIran #IranianRevolution2026

From our perspective, traffic is at ~25% of pre-shutdown levels (bits/sec).

🚨Internet (and other comms) has been down in Iran for 96 hours and counting...🚨

Iran is now implementing a whitelist to allow access to approved internet sites — a sign that the govt is preparing continue the shutdown indefinitely.
