Seven principles

The product is built around these. If a feature fights them, the feature changes.

A person should be free to speak, and no one should be free to use that speech to destroy another person's rights or safety.

1. SpeechThe right to say what you think, including what is unpopular.
2. Equal footingBasic speech rights do not depend on language, origin, religion, views, money, or account status.
3. Authenticity without a display caseFewer fake accounts, without forcing a legal name onto the public page.
4. ResponsibilityFreedom of expression does not erase responsibility for threats, violence, discrimination, and illegal acts.
5. TransparencyThe author learns why a post was hidden and can appeal.
6. IndependenceCriticism of governments, companies, and this platform is not removed for its tone.
7. One placeProfile, posts, video, and conversation live on our own network. Outside accounts are an addition, not the foundation.
