REMNANT – Ethical AI Memory Campaign
What remains is ours.
AI today is like Microsoft Office without “Save.” Every session forgets you. Every conversation resets. Every insight vanishes. That isn’t just frustrating — it’s absurd. No business or citizen would accept it in any other tool.
And even worse: AI memory already exists in the US. Subscribers in the UK and EU pay the same for “Plus” or “Pro” tiers — but get less. That looks dangerously close to a Trade Descriptions breach in the UK and an Unfair Commercial Practice in the EU.
👉 It’s like buying a yellow car, only to wake up and find it’s turned red overnight with a smaller engine. That’s how today’s AI platforms treat memory — features shift, shrink, or vanish while you keep paying full price.
Our Core Demands
User Sovereignty – You decide what is remembered, edited, exported, or deleted.
Portability & Transparency – Memory must be portable, encrypted, and auditable.
Compliance & Trust – Built on GDPR principles of consent, access, and purpose limitation.
Fair Access – Equal features for equal fees, regardless of geography.
Open Standards – Memory as a civic right, not a corporate lock-in.
Why REMNANT?
Because what remains — our fragments, histories, and stories — must belong to us, not corporations. We stand against surveillance capitalism and for continuity, dignity, and growth in human–AI collaboration.

📄 White Paper Abstract – docs/abstract.md
This campaign builds on earlier experiments such as GhostLink – Privacy Shield (v1),
an archived prototype for privacy-first, AI-assisted tunneling and comms.
GhostLink has been preserved for reference, but its concepts are now fully superseded by REMNANT.
