+Our Values**
+
+-   We are an organization committed to the tenets of free information,
+    free culture, and free society.
+
+-   We hold that advances in information technology provide humanity
+    with the ability to effectively face global challenges.
+
+-   We contend that our very ability to mobilize, organize, and bring
+    about change depends on our ability to communicate.
+
+-   We see that our ability to communicate is purchased from a handful
+    of powerful entities.
+
+-   We know that we cannot depend on these entities to support movement
+    away from a status quo from which they are the beneficiaries.
+
+-   We believe that access to a free network is a human right, and a
+    necessary tool for environmental and social justice.

+title: '**Free Network Definition**'
+---
+
+
+**The fundamental dialectic of our struggle is this: will we be enslaved
+by our technology, or liberated by it? 
+
+It was in cognizance of this
+notion, and in service to our collective freedom that the Free Software
+Movement was born. It is in this spirit that we aim here to define
+exactly what it means to say that a network is free. We hope that the
+existence of this definition will help illuminate the path to a more
+just world.
+
+Our intention is to build communications systems that are owned by the
+people that use them, that allow participants to own their own data, and
+that use end-to-end encryption and cryptographic trust mechanisms to
+assure privacy. We call such systems 'free networks' and they are
+characterized by the following five freedoms:
+
+-   Freedom 0: The freedom to participate in the network.
+
+    Freedom 0 regards your right to organize cooperative networks.
+    Conventional networks are characterized by a distinction between
+    provider and user. This mode of organization encourages network
+    operation in the service of self-interest. The provider builds and
+    owns the infrastructure, and the user pays for access. In a free
+    network, however, nodes connect to one another, rather than to a
+    single, monolithic provider. By nature of its design, a free network
+    is owned by those that make use of it. Participants act as providers
+    and users as the same time, and growth is auto-distributed by
+    treating any profits as investment. In this way, those that join the
+    network are able to become owners. This mode of organization
+    encourages network operation in the service of the common good.
+
+-   Freedom 1: The freedom to determine where one's data is stored.
+
+    Freedom 1 regards your right to own the material stores of your
+    data. Conventional networks encourage (if not force) their
+    participants to store their data in machines which are under the
+    administrative auspices of an external service provider or host.
+    Most folks are not able to serve data from their homes. Participants
+    ought to be free to store their own data (so that it is under their
+    care) without sacrificing their ability to publish it.
+
+-   Freedom 2: The freedom to determine the parties with whom one's data is shared.
+
+    Freedom 2 regards your right to control access to your data. Data
+    mining and the monetization of sharing has become common practice.
+    Participants should be free to choose those with whom they would
+    like to share a given piece of information. Only someone who owns
+    their own data can fully exercise this freedom, but it is an issue
+    regardless of where the relevant bits are stored.
+
+-   Freedom 3: The freedom to transmit data to one's peers without the prospect of
+    interference, interception or censorship.**
+
+    Freedom 3 regards the right to speak freely with your peers.
+    Information flows in conventional networks are routinely and
+    intentionally intercepted, obstructed, and censored. This is done at
+    the behest of corporate and state actors around the world. In a free
+    network, private communications should remain unexamined from the
+    time they enter the network until the time they reach their
+    destination.
+
+-   Freedom 4: The freedom to maintain anonymity, or to present a unique, trusted identity.
+
+    Freedom 4 regards your right to construct your own identity There is
+    increasing pressure to forbid anonymity, and yet trustworthy
+    communications remain rare. While it is essential to liberty that
+    individuals be able to remain anonymous in the online public sphere,
+    it is also essential that they be able to construct and maintain
+    persistent, verifiable identities. Such identities might bear a
+    legal name, a common name, or an avatar that masks one's corporeal
+    self -- individuals could have many such identities, and switch
+    between them at will. Clear delineation between anonymous,
+    pseudonymous, and onymous actors would enable all of us to better
+    asses the trustworthiness of others on the network.
