Project WGN is an open social protocol for people and groups. Software only, operating under U.S. law. A transparent backbone for messaging, ideas and group coordination under simple, verifiable rules — in daylight. Open code for verification: anyone can inspect, integrate, and carry their presence from one app to another. One common base; many apps — designed as tools, not traps.
One person, one voice.
Freedom with responsibility. Privacy above profit. Community before shortcuts.
Here no one is a product — and nothing important happens in the dark.
Commitment: Help ensure, under U.S. law, the freedom of communication of the people protected by it, wherever they are.

> _ Why we exist
- So that people are treated as subjects, not as units of attention.
- So that what you see is not steered by hidden hands you never chose.
- So that mistakes can be repaired, not used as a pretext for exile.
> _ How it works — step by step (no tech)
Arrival.
You download the app (16+). A plain message greets you: dignity first; no one is a product.
Choose who you want to be now.
- Anonymous: text-only. For when you must speak without showing your face; others choose whether to interact.
- Identified: a brief proof that you are you, done on your own device. We do not keep facial measurements; only a verification photo remains visible on your profile.
- Verified: documents and, if needed, a short live call. The highest trust level.
Your space, your choices.
You decide what to see and who can reach you. You set filters and silences. We don’t push content. Your feed is yours.
Tone of conversation.
Disagree without dehumanizing. Simple rules, spoken out loud, no fine print.
Freedom with responsibility.
If something clearly breaks U.S. law, we point it out and invite correction. Worst case: a downgrade in account level (for example, from Verified to Anonymous). We do not delete people.
Privacy above profit.
Attention is not a commodity. When sponsorship exists, it lives in daylight and under your control. Money sustains; values guide.
Common house.
People and companies help maintain the network. Those who care for the commons are recognized, not turned into owners.
Ongoing transparency.
We publish what matters: rules, changes, clear reports. What affects you is explained — without tricks.
When they try to silence.
If someone pushes the off switch, you notice the conversation continues. You don’t need to know the “how”; you just feel there is a path.
Right to begin again.
Mistakes happen. The rule is to correct, learn, continue. Belonging beats punishment.
> _ What we value
- Dignity: a person is an end, never a means.
- Freedom with responsibility: speech that accepts consequences.
- Human uniqueness: one person, one voice.
- Privacy: inner life is not currency.
- Transparency: daylight, no tricks.
- Tools, not cages: staying is a choice, never a trap.
- Service above profit: money sustains; values guide.
- Belonging: err, correct, stay.
- Plurality: disagree without dehumanizing.
- Resilience: when they try to silence, we find a way.
> _ How we behave
- Respect first, technology after.
- Clear rules, no small print.
- No steering of your gaze.
- Decisions explained, not imposed.
- Those who care for the commons are recognized — not made owners.
- When they try to silence, we proceed with calm.
> _ Promises & limits
We promise: treat you as a person, tell simple truths, explain decisions, prefer correction to expulsion, publish clear rules, listen with respect.
We won’t: sell your attention, hide tricks, manipulate your path, punish in the dark, delete people, govern by fear.
> _ Account levels (summary)
- Anonymous (16+, text): speak when you cannot show your face; interaction is opt-in from others.
- Identified: one human = one account (brief proof on device; we keep only the verification photo on profile).
- Verified: documents and, if needed, a live call; re-verification on demand.
> _ Micro-FAQ
- Do you keep my biometrics? No. The proof is local; we don’t turn your face into a working file. Only the verification photo stays on your profile.
- Do you manipulate what I see? No. You choose; we don’t steer your attention.
- What if I err? We point it out and invite correction. Worst case: demotion. Beginning again is part of it.
> _ Closing
We are a Delaware C-Corp, with patent pending. Our work is to deliver this — and more: a place where technology serves people, groups can think and act together, freedom comes with responsibility, and privacy is non-negotiable. If this house makes sense to you, come in. The rest we build together.
