Radical idea: Your thoughts remain yours
A free society demands that we enjoy robust legal protection of citizen's privacy. What follows is not a policy—it is a practice. We practice privacy here knowing full well we are bound to faceplant in some unforeseen way. Kindly alert me via email if you notice an opportunity to better protect users' autonomy. In a world increasingly hostile to individual privacy, this space is designed to be different.
So-called "social" media hollow out political life by severing it from bodies in shared space. Political agency has always depended on physical co-presence—people gathered together, visible to one another, capable of collective risk and collective refusal. Platforms replace this with connection without assembly: expression without consequence, participation without leverage. The crowd dissolves into isolated users, each alone with a screen, mistaking synchronized solitude for a public.
This disembodiment is not incidental. Power fears bodies together more than opinions expressed apart. A hashtag does not block a road; a feed does not organize a strike. Social media captures anger and routes it into safe, legible, monetizable gestures—likes, shares, posts—while rewarding performance over solidarity. Politics becomes personal branding, moral display, and algorithmic visibility. The ruling class deploys technology to fracture collective consciousness into discrete narratives that never quite cohere into force.
The smartphone is the 21st-century billionaire class's most ubiquitous tool of social domination: a portable enclosure that separates us while convincing us we are connected. It privatizes the public sphere, collapses shared time into an endless feed, and replaces mutual obligation with managed attention. People speak constantly but assemble rarely; they feel engaged yet remain politically disenfranchised, willingly. What presents itself as community functions, in practice, as pacification—neutralizing the actual political force of subjects by isolatng our bodies. This while harvesting our voices as data points to be sold at market value. And we earn not a penny from their hundreds of millions.

This privacy policy reflects a philosophical commitment, not just a legal obligation. The self-inquiry encouraged by the questionnaire requires a safe, private space. Without privacy, self reflection becomes performative—shaped by the imagined gaze of others.
Freedom requires privacy. We are committed to enabling freedom. And to fuck fascists erstwhile plans.
