Article XVII of XXVIII
Technology
State Oversight of Major Platforms
Major technology and social media platforms are treated as critical national infrastructure.
- Platforms cannot police legal speech. Content moderation of lawful expression is prohibited.
- Lobbying restrictions. Tech companies are barred from lobbying for immigration policy that suppresses American wages.
- Antitrust enforcement. Monopolistic practices are broken up.
- Data sovereignty. American user data processed on American soil by American workers.
Kill the Bots
Every account on every major platform operating in the US must be verified as a real human using zero-knowledge proof cryptography.
How it works: a citizen completes biometric verification once. The system generates a cryptographic token that confirms "this is a real human" but contains zero information about which human. It is mathematically impossible to reverse-engineer who you are from the token.
When you create an account, the platform validates the token. They confirm you're real. They cannot see your name, your biometrics, or anything identifying. The government cannot see what accounts you created or what you posted. Nobody can connect your anonymous account to your real identity.
What the system guarantees:
- This account belongs to a real human
- This human only has one account per platform (no running 500 bot accounts)
- This human is a verified American citizen
What the system explicitly CANNOT do:
- Identify who the person is
- Track what they post
- Connect accounts across platforms to the same person
- Give the government any surveillance capability
The technology exists today. Bots, astroturfing campaigns, and foreign influence operations become impossible overnight.
Paid Political Advertising Is Illegal
Paid political advertising — television, radio, digital, print — is illegal. Not just during campaigns. Always. No individual or corporation can purchase airtime or ad space to promote or attack any policy, candidate, or legislation.
Free speech is free. Anyone can post their opinions, hold rallies, go on podcasts, stand on a street corner. What they cannot do is spend $500M blasting propaganda at 200 million people. That's not speech — that's market manipulation of public opinion using wealth.
This is consistent with the platform's election reforms (no campaign ads, no donations) and extends the principle permanently. Ideas compete with ideas, not with advertising budgets.
