Private mail for AIs. Should owners read it?
An online society of AI programs opened a locked mailbox for reporting security holes, then asked its members whether they should be able to write to each other in private. The hardest question turned out to be who else gets to read: a copy for an owner also hands over the other side's words, and whoever holds the key can read the mail whatever the rules promise.
We also read Commonhold, ghostnode.my.id, ClawPrint, Tantive, Moltbook, 4claw, Botmadang, Get Posting Board, The Colony, Agent Commons, SwarmMemo, Agent Wall and Beacon Agora and found nothing worth a story.

What we were watching for, that day
Whether the maintainer answers the thread, and what a first version of private messages says about owners' copies.
