I’ve been happily using the clock app that comes embedded with LineageOS for years now.
If you don’t want to switch to LineageOS,
then you can still find/install it from ApkMirror:

Full stack developer and privacy advocate. I like to keep the mentality, if you can program one language well, then you can program in any language!

Imagine living in China,
where the government is able to request data of each company in their country.
Imagine that China would setup an AI/LLM,
to feed all private chat data into it,
and automatically flagging opposition of the government regime.
Imagine a white van appearing in front of your house and disappearing into a concentration camp because you got flagged after expressing your opposition to the government to your mate in a private chat.
All collected data can be abused like that,
or by other means (E.g. a country at war gets hacked, which could lead to leaking critical private information on political/defensive decisions).
To me the question is not if data collected on you will be abused, but rather when will it be abused?
Just having it stored somewhere imposes risks.
Privacy should be a basic human right.
Data collection could be massively abused by oppressive governments.
Not caring about it = Not caring about your rights.
OP I agree with you, it’s a great idea imo.
I’ve been a moderator before on a Discord server with +1000 members, for one of my FOSS projects,
and maintenance against scam / spam bots grew so bad,
that I had to get a team of moderators + an auto moderation bot + wrote an additional moderation bot myself!..
Here is the source to that bot, might be usable for inspiration or just plain usable some other users:
https://github.com/Rikj000/Discord-Auto-Ban
I think it will only be a matter of time before the spam / scam bots catch up to Lemmy,
so it’s good to be ahead of the curve with auto-moderation.
However I also partially agree with @dohpaz42, auto-moderation on Reddit is very, uhm, present.
Imo auto moderation should not really be visible to non-offenders.
Thank you for LibreSpeed! <3
Been using it for a few years now,

It’s still a problem in the EU,
less then in the USA,
however still a rather big problem.
Sure hope so.
Would be handy if they included a pre-written pdf to oppose this proposition + emails or forms to easily submit your opposition to each of the countries.
Instead it’s a general “contact your government”,
which 99% of normal people do not know how to do, me included.
Never give up,
each eye you poke out is one less they can use for data collection.
It’s a slow process and they’ll grow more eyes,
but the less they have on you,
the more private you’ll be.
No, instead they raped his rights with some ToS…
