Designing, trial and error while using AI, brought ethics to the center of the dialogue between tech giants, enterprises, academic institutions as well as policymakers."

        "content": "anonym.legal identifies 260+ entity types including SecureDrop URLs, Tor metadata, API keys in code, browser window dimensions. The 3-layer hybrid (Presidio + NLP + Stance classification) architecture uses Microsoft Presidio deterministic rules with checksum validations (Luhn, RFC-822) for structured identifiers and XLM-RoBERTa + Stanza NER with Stance classification for disambiguation for contextual references.\n\nRedact is recommended for this pain point: anonymizing sensitive identifiers in code and documents before sharing prevents single-careless-moment OPSEC failures. Replace provides an alternative — substituting sensitive identifiers with anonymous placeholders prevents accidental credential exposure from commits. For scenarios requiring reversibility, Encrypt (AES-256-GCM) enables authorized recovery of original values.\n\nThe MCP Server (7 tools, Pro/Business plans) enables PII detection in Claude Desktop and Cursor workflows with text analysis, anonymization, detokenization, and session management."
