The privacy-cleaning method described is confirmed by 6 sources including tech journals and the original author's verified X thread from May 2026. However, the post is undermined by a promotional slide claiming a $100 billion Nvidia investment in our AI provider, which was widely reported as having been reduced to $30 billion or terminated by March 2026.
