Canonical principle
Keep the need. Lose the harm.
When an idea asks for surveillance, shame, extraction, or manipulation, we preserve the human need and redesign the mechanism.
What this means
OneThousandMoves welcomes exuberant, strange, funny, and ambitious ideas. A brainstorm is allowed to be messy. But an idea does not become a OneThousandMoves product commitment merely because it is clever, technically possible, or entertaining.
Commitments
- hidden monitoring, default cameras or microphones, facial recognition, biometric identification, or continuous location/presence histories;
- shame-based nudges, appearance scoring, humiliation, fear, or pressure as a product mechanic;
- coercive locks, punishments, or parental/organizational control disguised as care or productivity;
- child surveillance, behavioral dossiers, or a public/private score that ranks a person's worth or compliance;
