Invitation to weigh in
Project Liberty
We made this page to ask whether we are thinking about Project Liberty's concerns in the right way.
You already published a mission: restore agency by giving people ownership and control of their personal data, and a people-centered internet rather than platform capture. We started from that public corpus. This is not a score of your work. It is a working draft so Alliance members can correct us, add sources, and weigh in on the Desirable Properties that sit next to what you already stand for.
Tell us what we missed. Then open the Desirable Properties tab, follow one interest, and leave a specific patch idea if the text is wrong or incomplete.
The commercial internet had no pause in which communities could write the rules before platforms arrived. We are treating this as that pause: get the people's coordination space right, then invite the commercial world to play by community rules.
Scored for capabilities, reach, productivity, and impact. Own layer and partner layer both appear when the packet supports them.
Collaborative · Reach
Open a collaborative layer with Project Liberty Institute and Project Liberty Labs
Invite the partners already named in this packet into a shared layer plus guild. Shared tags and bridges let communities meet without forcing a single login or feed.
Hypothesis until sources are confirmed.
Reach compounds only when named partners share a layer. Hermes will not invent partners you did not list or confirm.
Co-sign a Minimum Permissible Affordance on data agency
Draft an MPA in Project Liberty's language: people can export identity and social graph they created here. Ask partners to co-sign, then file it toward an ML-REQ on Gov Hub.
Hypothesis until sources are confirmed.
Impact is a public claim made testable. This org already states people should own and control personal data.
Create a Gov Hub / Canopi stewardship container for Project Liberty and run the first overlay on a public page you already control. Vicariance (sandbox before scale) keeps this from becoming a population-wide experiment on day one.
Hypothesis until sources are confirmed.
Cited mission: “Restore agency in the digital age by giving people ownership and control of their personal data.” Own-layer work is the smallest way to extend capability without leaving that mission for a captured platform.
