Our Mission & Voice
UnderKurrent exists to restore truth, dignity, accountability, and the power of "we the People" to public discourse. Our mission is to raise public awareness, elucidate truth, track integrity over time, and serve as a cohesive bastion for connecting people in a fragmented, post-truth, post-democracy landscape where isolation and subterfuge have become normalized. This mission -- this rallying cry for sanity, justice, and community -- is the heart of everything we build.
At the same time, we operate with transparency and integrity as a non-profit, educational platform. This means we must be clear about the distinction between our organizational mission and the individual voices of our community.
User-Generated Content & Organizational Stance
UnderKurrent is a platform for community voices. The content posted by users -- including posts, comments, endorsements, and discussions -- reflects the views, opinions, and expressions of the individual authors, not those of UnderKurrent as an organization. UnderKurrent does not endorse, verify, or guarantee the accuracy of user-generated content.
Our organizational voice is reserved for official communications, the Framework article, Help & FAQ documentation, and curated editorial content explicitly labeled as such. This separation protects both the platform's non-profit integrity and the community's freedom to speak.
Algorithmic Neutrality & Equal Application
The K-Score, visibility scoring, and all ranking algorithms on UnderKurrent are standardized, mathematically defined, and applied uniformly to all users, narratives, entities, and sources without regard to political affiliation, ideology, or personal alignment. The parameters and criteria are publicly documented in our Help & FAQ section. This ensures that our platform serves as an objective tool for elucidation -- not a mechanism for promoting any particular agenda.
We believe that truth is not subjective. The same standards of evidence, integrity tracking, and community accountability apply equally across the spectrum of public discourse. This is not neutrality for its own sake -- it is the foundation of credibility and trust.
User Responsibilities
You are solely responsible for the content you post. You agree not to post illegal, harassing, defamatory, or misleading content. You retain ownership of your content but grant UnderKurrent a license to display it on the platform.
Donations & Cause Gear Fundraising
All donations and gear purchases are non-refundable and voluntary. Donations are used to support platform operations, independent journalism, and community initiatives. Cause Gear purchases are fundraising items -- not traditional commercial goods -- and are provided as a thank-you for your support.
Limitation of Liability
UnderKurrent is provided "as is." We make no warranties regarding uptime, accuracy of user-generated content, or fitness for a particular purpose.
Changes
We may update these terms. Continued use after changes constitutes acceptance.
