Safety & Your Rights

The Right to Verifiable Truth

Every individual possesses the inherent right to record and publish verified accounts of public events. This operational framework is anchored directly to Article 19 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights.

Architectural Safeguards: Zero-Knowledge State Separation Edge Proxy Anonymization Client-Side EXIF Scrubbing

1. Cryptographic Data Minimization

Our network architecture ensures that uncollected data cannot be subpoenaed, leaked, or intercepted. Confidentiality is maintained by structural design:

  • Zero Identity Association: Publication tokens are decoupled from persistent user accounts or network identifiers.
  • Automated Sanitization: Geolocation metadata and hardware signatures are scrubbed locally in the browser runtime prior to transmission.
  • Mathematical Isolation: Cryptographic proofs replace vulnerable plaintext identification strings.

2. High-Risk Operational Protocols

📡

Network Obfuscation

In restricted communication environments, utilize Tor or trusted encrypted VPN routing. Avoid publishing via local mobile infrastructure tied directly to government-registered identity documents.

📱

Device Security & Quick Exit

Maintain strong device passcodes independent of biometric vectors. Trigger the Quick Exit utility instantly to flush local browser cache and redirect to a neutral domain.

3. Prohibited Conduct Vectors

To safeguard network integrity and prevent protocol abuse, the following actions are strictly restricted:

  • ✕ Doxxing: Unauthorized publication or exposure of non-public personal details.
  • ✕ Harassment & Coercion: Targeted intimidation campaigns or malicious threats.
  • ✕ Synthetic Disinformation: Altered or maliciously fabricated media designed to deceive verification metrics.
  • ✕ Automated Spam: Sybil attacks, botnet injections, and fraudulent account payloads.

4. Community Governance & Trust Tiers

Network moderation is driven by transparent verification standards rather than subjective editorial censorship:

• Citizen Talk: Open-access public discourse maintained through decentralized community flagging heuristics.

• Witness Voice: Cryptographically verified evidentiary records backed by deterministic proof standards and peer attestation.

Protocol Mission:

Establishing an immutable public square where factual reporting is permanently protected by architectural design.

⚙️ Technical & Operational Specifications

Cryptographic & Subpoena Defense

VocalWitness utilizes client-side SHA-256 hashing and zero-knowledge proofs (zk-SNARKs).
• Zero identity storage: IP addresses are terminated and unlogged at the edge proxy layer.
• Automatic EXIF sanitization: Hardware fingerprints and coordinate tags are scrubbed in-browser prior to upload.
• Mathematical protection: Absence of central private keys prevents administrative unmasking of anonymous contributors.

High-Risk Operational Best Practices

Prefer Tor or trusted VPN layers in hostile communication zones. Avoid mobile carriers tied to state-issued registration tokens. Utilize strong physical passcodes over biometric unlocking. The Quick Exit interface immediately purges browser storage registers and redirects to an external neutral resource.

Moderation Architecture

• Citizen Talk — Unfiltered community discussion governed by automated spam heuristics and peer flags.
• Witness Voice — Cryptographically secured ledger entries possessing verified timestamping and immutable integrity hashes.
