INCLINE VILLAGE, Nev. - s4story -- Following his recent public willingness to testify on Capitol Hill, Phinge is previewing additional remarks to be added to Founder and CEO Robert C. DeMaio's proposed congressional testimony if invited.

Driven by the broad, overreaching implications that unverified artificial intelligence and its infrastructure pose to the public at large, Mr. DeMaio is actively anticipating formal legislative invitations from U.S. House committees governing intellectual property, privacy, and digital markets, alongside U.S. Senate committees governing technology, privacy, and antitrust and other relevant committees to champion the absolute right of users to own, control, and monetize their own personal data.

Here are Mr. DeMaio's proposed added remarks:

The urgency of this moment has been punctuated by massive market developments that occurred just days ago. Two dominant titans of consumer and enterprise AI made simultaneous market announcements regarding their new data sovereignty and safety architectures. One announced a major shift in its chatbot data retention policy, allowing select users to isolate and house data traffic entirely on their own customer-hosted cloud storage log frameworks. On the exact same day, another AI company countered by unveiling a parallel safety system designed to avoid central retention of customer data entirely.

Even if we set aside the potential infringement of Phinge and Robert DeMaio's intellectual property rights for our federal courts to decide, these announcements prove something monumentally profound: they prove that the technology these giant AI companies are releasing already has the inherent technical capability to deliver data sovereignty, such as privacy, yet it still lacks the ability for individuals to own, control, and monetize their own data, likeness, and IP.

They are openly demonstrating that data privacy is entirely achievable right now. Yet, despite increasingly having this capability, a critical examination of these simultaneous rollouts exposes a profound structural double standard: both providers are restricting these critical data sovereign privacy, and safety frameworks exclusively to their premium, paying enterprise B2B customers. By intentionally locking even partial data sovereignty behind an enterprise paywall, these tech behemoths have engineered an unfair, dual-class digital ecosystem. Corporations receive data privacy and perimeter isolation, while the everyday individual citizen is left entirely exposed—their private queries, identity footprints, and data streams funneled into centralized repositories where they are monitored, aggregated, and monetized without true individual ownership, compensation, or little recourse.

This surveilence capitalism, monetization framework is not a technical necessity; it is a choice to withhold privacy from individuals and the public while increasing their own bottom lines. They are charging a premium to enterprises for a portion of the principles of individual data ownership, control, and monetization that Robert DeMaio solely invented, disclosed, and patented over five years ago.

Under our foundational, June 2021 priority-dated patent baseline and continuing patent applications, we pioneered a true data-sovereign alternative to surveillance capitalism through our patented, universal, integrated codebase, authorized user device, and top-level username, among other technologies. These inventions and technologies prove that data ownership, control, and monetization can—and must—remain entirely with the individual and creator, bypassing independent corporate rules and boundaries entirely.

We urge Congress to recognize that a tiered system separating citizen and business data standards violates the evolving principles of consumer property rights, and we urge federal oversight to mandate equal, uncompromised structural data ownership, privacy, and protection for everyone.

I look forward to detailing exactly how our patented architecture corrects this corporate overreach during your questions."
