I think about this often. Because I'm a privacy engineer.

It does feel weird to ship all your voice and private thoughts to a remote server.

But how different is it really, than people using notion to journal?

My guess is that it's going to be more and more normalized to have personal voice based communication.




I think it’s also think it’s interesting to consider from the perspective of side-channel attacks/information leaks. For the most part, I think text notes are well just text. But I shutter to think what other metadata, fingerprinting, or background conversations/information could be extracted from a bunch of audio. But maybe I’m just being overly paranoid.


I would never in a zillion years put things in Notion that would ruin my life if they showed up in a data breach. I don’t even keep a physical journal because I don’t like how hard it is to secure.

Am I in a bubble, or is it the children who are wrong?


Notion, recently published a blog saying they have 200 Billion blocks stored in their postgres instances with hundreds of terabytes stored.

My guess is that the average user does not care/think about privacy, breaches etc. that much.


What is notion? My googlefu is letting me down.
