Platformer

Platformer is a set of technologies that enable collaborative, distributed exercise of individual political power in coordinated actions with explicit and measurable goals.

Platformer works primarily as a kind of infrastructure that allows individuals around the world to coordinate activities in ways that were previously unthinkably complex. Platformer allows any individual to make use of political and economic power that might otherwise seem so negligible as to be useless, by coordinating with others across the globe, and across ideological, socioeconomic, cultural and even linguistic barriers.

Furthermore, Platformer preserves individual control of personal information—personally-identifying data as well as information that is relevant to a person’s political points of view and economic status and priorities. Instead of submitting data to a campaign organizer or political party organization and hoping that the data stays private and isn’t used for nefarious purposes, an individual has an iron-clad guarantee that his or her information is used only to advance the causes of the individual’s choosing. In a reversal of the present-day situation where a “marketing”-oriented approach defines political organizing, Platformer puts control of personal information back where it belongs.
