Understanding crucial social and workplace issues such as racism, sexual harassment and elitism, to developing and constructing communications technologies that facilitate the exploration of language and the importance of meaning, context, mood and occasion are vital to fostering understanding among groups and individuals. This enables us to focus on creating tools that recognize cultural and social diversity and accommodate differences.

We believe that the ability to communicate openly without fear of reprisal, torture or death is better use of technological innovation than missile development or weaponry. Our intellectual properties and the lawsuits we have engaged in are designed to educate others and ourselves as to the most appropriate ways of dealing with law and responsibility in a global technological environment that is uncharted. By doing so in such a way that we create a landscape that fosters growth and opportunity.

Our legal arguments are studied globally at such prestigious institutions as Harvard Law School, and our approach to the future of technology engages the minds of scholars and lawmakers -- from Supreme Court Justices to professors to journalists. And publications around the globe have weighed in on the questions we raise in our quest to create technology in an environment that nurtures our vision and breaks new ground.

Our leadership in this arena has contributed to First Amendment and journalism in areas where no one has gone before. The sites below reflect some of the work we do and ideals toward which we are striving.
