On 21 October 2026 the Hacker News front page carried a report that one chatbot's shared-conversation links exposed users' personal and business details. A shared chat is a published page - whoever gets the link reads every message in it.
Put the chat through the scanner before you post the link.
Paste the conversation you are about to share - an AI chat, a group thread, a support exchange. Each message rides the belt as a bag. The X-ray window shows what is packed inside: passwords and codes, phone numbers and addresses, names, health, money, work plans. You get a verdict and a redacted copy to share instead.
1 The chat
Quick mask - free, patterns only
Every email, number, code and address the page found, swapped for a label. Names, health, money and plans need the screening.
2 The belt
people, healthcontact, places, worksecrets, moneydashed = the page's own pattern reading
3 Screen the chat
The screening reads only the messages you paste - it never invents a name or a detail, and it never repeats a flagged detail in its own words. The redacted copy is built here in the page from its quotes. Pastes under twelve words come back with what to paste instead.
