Welcome to OwnTweet, a social media platform dedicated to cultivating a secure, welcoming, and engaging online environment for everyone. We believe that safety and vibrancy can coexist in social media spaces. Our platform encourages users to freely express themselves while actively addressing targeted harassment, hate speech, misinformation, and manipulation.

Our mission is to redefine the norms of social media by promoting diversity, inclusivity, and accountability. Women, people of color, individuals with disabilities, and members of the LGBTQ+ community contribute significantly to shaping OwnTweet's direction. We recognize that diversity is fundamental to building a platform that serves all users, regardless of their background or identity.

Acknowledging the underrepresentation of women in technology, where only 26.7% of the workforce is female despite constituting 50.52% of the US population, we are committed to ensuring that at least 40% of our team comprises women. We believe that a diverse team will enable us to develop a more inclusive platform that caters to the diverse needs of our users.

User privacy is paramount to us, and we vow never to monetize their personal data. We advocate for legal measures prohibiting the sale of users' personal data and will establish a legally binding agreement with our users, assuring them that their personal data will never be sold.

At OwnTweet, we maintain a zero-tolerance stance against targeted harassment, hate speech, misinformation, and platform manipulation. We prohibit the existence of single-purpose hate accounts and accounts disseminating misinformation on our platform. We are committed to providing robust tools to safeguard our users, which are available free of charge. Our community guidelines are transparent and strictly enforced. We do not condone attacks based on characteristics such as race, gender, sexual orientation, or religion. When we permanently suspend a user on OwnTweet, it means they are permanently barred from returning to disrupt the community.

Join us in our quest to forge a more inclusive and enjoyable online space while preserving the essence of social media that we cherish. Together, let's build a stronger online community for everyone.
