This looks really exciting but I want to warn that this fulfills the following criteria: - feels to good to be free - it targets a problem that we all sense and fear when we interact with other people - the privacy and security policy is legally invalid in California and the EU (missing both is quite weird as they’re very well known privacy standards) - the email address listed inside the privacy and security policy is invalid Before trying their service I attempted to request a proper privacy policy via their listed email address which returns me an error saying that this address doesn’t exist. As Slack is listed as a company that backs this service, I just reached out to their support team to cross-check the authenticity of this new service. This is getting exciting..

it’s not slack listed as a company but rather “professionals from”… > Trusted by professionals from This is a growing trend I’ve noticed - it’s a bit of a fake call to legitimacy

    Some companies strictly forbid using their logos in this form (I worked for one). A takedown notice is sent at first sight. It works, but makes sponsoring open source, events, etc a lot more painful due to the approvals needed.

  If this was a downloadable offline app, I'd be happy to give it a try. But uploading deepfake training data into the cloud? No thanks.

Sounds a bit like they are a startup with very limited time and resources to me. I hope they haven't outright lied about endorsements, however they are building something I quite like the look of and would find personally useful (especially after the horrors of my terrible YC application video), however it looks very expensive to run... I think free is a bit of a worry but it also implies they might not have built that bit yet. Let's see if they show up in the comments to assuage your concerns.

I'm glad there are people out there like you to keep people honest but man, I could never imagine doing what you've just outlined.
