Time traveling super-jerks are not in my threat model. They would sure be terrible, bu as you point out, there is no obvious solution, though fortunately time travel does not look to be nearly as close technologically as uploading does. The definition of temporal I am using is as follows:
“relating to worldly as opposed to spiritual affairs; secular.” I believe the word is appropriate in context, as traditionally, eternity is a spiritual matter and does not require actual concrete planning. I assert that if uploading becomes available within a generation, the odds of some human or organization doing something utterly terrible to the uploaded are high not low. There are plenty of recent examples of bad behavior by instituions that are around today and likely to persist.
