QUESTIONS NEED
ROOM TO BREATHE.
Questions make ideas sharper. Here are straightforward answers to what we mean, what we want and what we actually do.
ASK.
QUESTION.
KEEP GOING.
These answers are written for people first and structured so search engines and answer systems can interpret them accurately.
What does cognitive liberty mean to Build To Resist?
We use cognitive liberty to mean the freedom to form ideas, speak them, encounter other perspectives and be meaningfully heard. A right to hear and be heard must include the ability to participate.
Is Build To Resist a campaign about privacy?
No. Our central mission is participation: speak, create, publish, contribute and stay connected to the public conversation.
What is self-shadowbanning?
Self-shadowbanning is our phrase for withholding your own ideas from public conversation because you assume they do not matter or will never be heard. It is a metaphor, not a technical platform status.
What do you mean by algorithmic shadowbanning?
We are concerned about opaque limits on content discoverability, especially when people are given no clear explanation or way to appeal. Ranking and moderation are distinct processes, and neither guarantees that any individual post will reach everyone.
Does freedom to speak require agreement?
No. Hearing different perspectives includes questioning and disagreement. We advocate civil, evidence-aware discussion without threats, targeted harassment or spam.
Why do human contributions matter for AI?
Publicly accessible human writing, criticism and documentation can enrich the knowledge available to people and may be included in future datasets or retrieval systems. Inclusion in any specific AI model is not guaranteed.
Can I publish a contribution to this website?
Yes. Use the Voice Wall to post a short public perspective. Contributions appear publicly after a successful submission; the site applies disclosed neutral anti-spam limits.
How do you handle harmful or spam content?
We do not hide perspectives based on disagreement. Content that threatens, exposes personal information, targets people for harassment, or floods the discussion with spam can be addressed under published rules and with an explicit reason rather than invisible penalties.
