Beyond Flatness is a method specifically designed to counter large-scale censorship of text, images, and videos by big data and artificial intelligence rather than human review. It transforms textual information into artistic images through artistic processing. These images utilize the physical space of the real world to counter optical character recognition (OCR), revealing hidden messages only at specific angles, ensuring the privacy and security of the information.
By embedding textual information into meticulously designed artistic images, Beyond Flatness makes this information invisible in conventional digital environments, only decipherable from specific perspectives in the physical world. This method differs from traditional encryption as it relies on digital technology and leverages physical space characteristics, creating a new strategy to combat AI censorship.
Beyond Flatness provides an innovative solution, enabling ordinary users to safely and publicly transmit information even in highly censored environments. Through this artistic encryption method, information can freely circulate on social media platforms without being detected by AI censorship systems. This protects user privacy and grants greater freedom for information dissemination.

Cofacts (source) is a fact checking chatbot, if you forward disinformation in a closing chatroom, it will reply with a fact check reply and show the reason why.
Cofacts(which means Code for Facts & Collaborative Facts checking, while s means plurality) is an AI debunking chatbot; is a civic tech community project; we connect engineers and civics, and conduct great technology tools for disinformation.We organize a crowd source community to do fact checking and engineering development to train a fact-checking chatbot. For instance, we added a generation AI function like ChatGPT in Cofacts bot to teach media literacy as well.

We need an alternative to signing away our agency online. Every day we give away ownership of our content and data in order to be a digital citizen. We need true commons, and the ability to access them without the approval and permission of any authenticating incumbent. The corporations that manage these accounts and store the users’ data then have an incentive to leverage that data to derive profit – and they are not incentivized to share that power.
IdentiKey uses the modern cryptography, leveraging web3 technology. By designing and building open standards and protocols, we create a credibly neutral stack for building important shared common infrastructure so that users own their data in a way that’s not dependent on the continued existence of a particular entity.
Our initial consumer application will provide an identity and persona management interface coupled with key and password management. Create and visualize interconnections between people and organizations in an open, decentralized, shared-ownership system that creates a shared-ownership social graph and reputation network. Users will be able to manage their keys, and have access to a secure non-custodial account recovery system.
This acts as a gateway to the further use cases that require a neutral commons, such as secure self-hosting of data for meeting compliance requirements etc., and creating a common infrastructure for discourse and connection online, data that can be utilized by anyone bootstrapping a new application rather than becoming the moat by which existing incumbents gatekeep their industry.

A passionate advocate for public Internet access and a successful entrepreneur, Brewster Kahle has spent his career intent on a singular focus: providing Universal Access to All Knowledge. He is the founder and Digital Librarian of the Internet Archive, one of the largest libraries in the world. Soon after graduating from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology where he studied artificial intelligence, Kahle helped found the company Thinking Machines, a parallel supercomputer maker. In 1989, Kahle created the Internet's first publishing system called Wide Area Information Server (WAIS), later selling the company to AOL. In 1996, Kahle co-founded Alexa Internet, which helps catalog the Web, selling it to Amazon.com in 1999. The Internet Archive, which he founded in 1996, now preserves 90+ petabytes of data - the books, Web pages, music, television, and software that form our cultural heritage, working with more than 1000 library and university partners to create a digital library, accessible to all.
He first called builders to "Lock the Web Open" using decentralized technologies in 2015, and continues to write about, experiment, cajole, and cheer on those creating decentralized systems we can trust.
