<p>Veilid (pronounced Vay-Lid, from 'Valid and Veiled Identification')</p>

Veilid allows anyone to build a distributed, private app. Veilid gives users the privacy to opt out of
|
|
data collection and online tracking. Veilid is being built with user experience, privacy, and safety as our top priorities.
|
|
It is open source and available to everyone to use and build upon.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>
|
|
Veilid goes above and beyond existing privacy technologies and has the potential to completely change the way
|
|
people use the Internet. Veilid has no profit motive, which puts us in a unique position to promote ideals
|
|
without the compromise of capitalism.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p class="focus-text">
|
|
We built Veilid because when the Internet was young and new, we viewed it as an endless and open realm of possibility.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>
|
|
Instead, the Internet we know now has been heavily commercialized, with users and their data being the most
|
|
sought-after commodity. The only ways to opt-out of becoming the product for billionaires to exploit are either
|
|
too technical for the average user, or to simply not go online.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>
|
|
We don't believe that is fair; we still haven't given up our dream for the entire Internet to be free
|
|
and accessible without trading privacy to use it.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p class="focus-text">
|
|
We believe that everyone should be able to forge relationships, learn, create, and build online — without being monetized.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>
|
|
With Veilid, the user is in control, in a way that is approachable and friendly, regardless of technical
|
|
ability. We want to give the world the Internet we should have had all along.
