Principles Promises
Promises
you can
check.
Each principle below says what it means, what Moorvit commits to, and where you can see it for yourself.
What you see
No shadow ranking
- What it means
- When Moorvit ranks a post into your feed, it tells you why, in a sentence, under the post.
- What we commit to
- We will not rank anything for you on a reason we would not show you, and advertising does not affect your feed ranking.
- How to check
- The reason line under a ranked post: "Because you follow …", "New from an author you saved", "Popular in your network", "Because you read about this topic", "Trending" or "From your invitation circle".
Public means public
- What it means
- What a member makes public can be read, watched and shared by anyone, without an account.
- What we commit to
- We will not put a login wall in front of public posts, stories or videos. An account is needed only to take part.
- How to check
- Open any public post, story or video link while signed out. The landing page shows live public items you can try. Try a public item →
How the rules work
One published rulebook
- What it means
- The same numbered rules apply to posts, comments, stories and videos, and anyone can read them.
- What we commit to
- We publish the rulebook in force, with no account needed, and a removal that cites a rule cites one from it.
- How to check
- The rulebook in force is served publicly at /api/public/rulebook, in English and Arabic, with each rule's code, title and wording. How the rulebook works →
Rules do not change in secret
- What it means
- Each change to the rulebook is a new version, with a label, a publication date and a summary of what changed.
- What we commit to
- A removal is judged by the rule as it was worded in the version in force at the time, and that wording stays on your notice even after the rule changes.
- How to check
- The public version list at /api/public/rulebook/versions, and the rulebook version quoted beside the rule on a removal notice.
Every removal names the rule
- What it means
- Content is not removed silently. You are told, and you are told why.
- What we commit to
- Every removal names a rule. You get a notification and a notice with the rule, its wording as it stood that day, the time and any note from staff.
- How to check
- Your notifications. A removal opens a removal notice with all of the above. What a removal notice contains →
Appeals go to people
- What it means
- A removal can be looked at again by someone who did not make it, and you see the outcome and the reason.
- What we commit to
- Today a staff member who did not make the removal decides each review. Member juries are being built to take this over; where too few members are eligible, a staff member who was not involved will still decide, and the outcome will say so.
- How to check
- The "Request a review" button on a removal notice, and the outcome written on the same notice. How juries work →
Who can reach you
No pay-to-reach
- What it means
- Ads come only from members in your invitation tree, not from an algorithm or the platform selling your attention. Nobody can pay to reach past your tree.
- What we commit to
- Only members in your invitation tree will be able to show you an ad, and nobody can pay to reach past it or to rank higher in anyone's feed. Moorvit has no advertising system yet; this is the rule it will be built to.
- How to check
- Your invitation tree, on your own profile: who invited you and whom you invited. That is the circle ads will come from.
Every member was invited
- What it means
- Every account arrives through an existing member, with a code that member created.
- What we commit to
- Each member has a limited number of invitations; codes expire, and an unused code can be revoked. Nobody pays to get in, and there is no paid skip past the waitlist.
- How to check
- Your invitations page: how many you have left, each code, when it expires, and a button to revoke it.
Private means private
- What it means
- Direct messages are end-to-end encrypted: Moorvit stores and passes on only scrambled text and files.
- What we commit to
- We say plainly what we can and cannot see or scan, and the privacy notice lists the exceptions.
- How to check
- The safety number behind the encryption status at the top of any chat, which you can compare with the other person. Encryption and safety numbers →
