The Web We Want Is
Within Our Reach
The GliaNet Alliance unites forward thinking companies & organizations committed to ethical technology practices and trust.
Building a Web Worthy of Trust.
In an era where online trust and accountability have become debased, a group of for-profit companies is pioneering a new model of ethical technology. Together, we're building a human-centered web ecosystem using transformative governance principles from the common law of fiduciaries.
in the fine print:
..."treats end users as bona fide customers and clients, owed express duties of care and loyalty."
The Web Has Lost Its Way...
Surveillance Capitalism Rules the Web
Every digital interaction by an end user feeds a massive data harvesting operation. Companies track, profile, and manipulate users through sophisticated prediction engines - not to serve you better, but to modify your behavior for profit. Your personal information, preferences, and even emotional states are commoditized and sold to the highest bidder.
Trust Has Been Systematically Undermined
The largest platforms have betrayed user trust through deceptive design patterns and engagement algorithms that exploit human psychology. They optimize for addiction over wellbeing, spread misinformation for profit, and treat users as data points to be exploited rather than humans to be served. This has created a crisis of trust in our digital institutions.
Loss of Human Agency
Your digital life has become a maze of non-choices: accept invasive tracking or lose access to essential services. As platforms position themselves between you and your online experiences, they're not just collecting data—they're shaping your choices, relationships, and opportunities. The result? A web where your role has shifted from active participant to passive data source for the benefit of others.
...A Better Web Is Possible.
