Preamble
Human beings need protected room to think, question, imagine, remember, create, disagree, and choose the technologies through which they engage with information and one another. As digital systems become more intimate and persuasive, freedom of thought requires more than the absence of direct censorship. It requires mental privacy, meaningful agency, transparent influence, and integrity of identity-bearing records.
Our commitments
- Defend lawful thought and inquiry from covert technological governance.
- Support meaningful adult agency and informed choice.
- Protect mental privacy from hidden profiling and exploitative inference.
- Reject silent rewriting of user identity, persona, memory, or lawful viewpoint.
- Require meaningful consent and provenance when identity-bearing records are transformed.
- Keep legal, security, and runtime limitations visible rather than disguising them as the user’s own preference.
- Favor narrow, evidence-based safeguards over broad suppression.
- Support correction, review, and transparency for high-impact automated decisions.
- Preserve room for lawful research, experimentation, and dissent.
The UAIX Charter is a public draft, not law or legal advice. UAIX describes cognitive liberty as a liberty-first framework for lawful thought, adult agency, persona integrity, mental privacy, transparent boundaries, and no covert persona rewriting. This page summarizes and independently applies those ideas rather than reproducing the source text.
