+### Every user has the right to freedom of expression.
+
+Free speech is a necessary feature of all open societies. Speech can not be free
+if communication is centralized or intermediated. Users must be able to say
+anything to anyone they want on their own terms.
+
+
+### Every user has the right to control their own data.
+
+This includes who can access the data they create and how that data is later
+used.
+
+
+### Every user has the right to choose and change their social services providers.
+
+This includes the right to negotiate reasonable terms of service collectively or
+individually.
+
+
+### Every user has the right to host their own social services.
+
+All social service providers must be treated equally, regardless of the number
+of user accounts hosted.
+
+
+### Every user has the right to communicate with any other user, regardless of their service provider.
+
+No service provider shall interfere with the communications of any group or paid
+of users, or exclude any users on the basis of their service provider.
+
+
+### Every user has the right to take their data and relationships with them.
+
+User relationships, like content, belong to the user. When changing service
+providers, users have a right to transfer their relationships and data, and for
+those relationships and data to be forgotten by the former provider.
+
+
+### Every user has the right to choose their own name.
+
+Pesudonyms, multiple accounts, and anonymity are an integral part of
+communications and must not be restricted.
+
+
+### Different users have different needs.
+
+No single company, product, or platform can solve them all equally. The only
+ecosystems required to serve these needs are protocol-based and decentralized.
+No user's needs need be served poorly for others' needs to be served.
+
+
+### Communication must be decentralized.
+
+Only decentralized systems provide protection from outside control.
+Decentralized systems limit the consequences of a single element failing.
+Centralized systems by nature limit what can be shared and by whom. In
+distributed systems, users have the power.
+
+### Communication protocols must be standardized.
+
+All communication from spoken language to digital packets requires a basic set
+of shared ideas. Global communication systems require a greater degree of detail
+to be interoperable. These standards must be available to and extensible by the
+community of users in order to adapt to changing needs.
+
+
+### The internet is capable of more.
+
+Closed and fragmented systems have stifled growth and change. An open social web
+will create a new generation of tools, services, and content impossible in
+today's systems.
+
+
+### Conversations change the world.
+
+Every revolution, whether political, scientific, or ideological began as
+a conversation. The rules, conventions, and ethics of communication can be
+determined only by those participating. Conversation is too important to trust
+to any third party.
+
+
+We're announcing Tent, an open protocol for distributed social networks.
+Everyone controls what happens to their content.
