> The surprise announcement came days after the city floated a plan to hand over the camera management and access exclusively to police

How do I stay up to date on information like this? What can I do as a resident to help the cause?

Email me please, it's in my profile. You can absolutely help.

Can you just share publicly what people can do to help?

I would love to do that!

For our effort in SD specifically, we need to add more help and voices to get 2 ordinances passed, to establish oversight of existing & future surveillance technology. Once we are successful at that, we will have a huge amount of work ahead of us to process San Diego's existing inventory of surveillance tech. We need volunteers to help do that work. We need a lot of them, to help keep the workload manageable.

For other cities, you need to get started by challenging an existing surveillance tech & assembling a coalition. Then you can work to establish local oversight of your local surveillance tech.

> I built Mailmask in response to the frustrations of having to deal with spam, email addresses being sold to advertisers, and being unable to unsubscribe from or block certain senders.

Couldnt have said it better myself, its the exact same reason i built my own too.

I dont know the challenges that others have faced but if i were to guess maybe certain websites begin blocking by domain name? It is hard to say, but its an interesting problem that i will have to address maybe as the product grows. At the moment I dont have an answer because it has yet to be a problem I have experienced personally.

Yes, I'm pretty sure it is by domain name.

One suggestion: custom domains for your users.

This could also help you "monetize", or at least help the service sustain itself.

Thank you for writing and sharing such a useful service.

People like you make the Internet better and offer hope for the future.

Thanks for the feedback. Given that this is a Single Page Application built in React, what would you expect to see? Just some sort of messaging that says javascript is required? I have never considered/tried to handle this problem before so i dont know what is best.

Yep! That sort of message is common in react apps I’ve worked with before.

Thank you! I had the domain for two years or so now just waiting for the right project to come along haha

I haven't seen those before but scanning over the home pages of both it seems like we all offer very similar services. SimpleLogin seems legit and looks like they offer a ton of cool features. It seems like something that I would aspire this project to become

I didnt build this as a means to make money, it was more of a project to prove that i can. It is built using AWS' free tier services. Its my dream to keep this up while having it cost me as little as possible.

This is noble, but eventually a project like this will either die or be repurposed for a nefarious purpose (like harvesting email addresses).

Yea youre right - i still have a few unanswered questions about how to keep the application affordable with the way that it was built at a large scale. If those are your concerns it seems like you have more faith than I do that it could take off
