Private conversation should never become advertising inventory.
mesj is being designed around a simple commitment: communication belongs to the people taking part in it.
1
Private chats, group chats and shared plans will not contain advertising.
2
mesj will not sell what people say, who they speak to or when they are most likely to respond.
3
A venue, activity or service must not appear more suitable merely because it paid to be shown.
If mesj ever earns a commission from an action, that relationship must be clearly disclosed before the user acts.
4
Nothing from a private conversation should be submitted to an external search or recommendation service until a participant deliberately requests it.
Before the request is sent, mesj shows the minimum information that will be used.
Example
Illustration of the consent step, not a live search.
5
Shared decisions and plans are controlled by the people taking part. They are not public content and are not used to build advertising profiles.
6
mesj should remain useful on ordinary phones and poor connections.
Complexity is added only when it removes more complexity from people's lives.
A future version of mesj should allow people to participate without exposing their telephone number to every member of a plan.
Private invitation identities, usernames and passkeys are under investigation. This is research — not a currently available feature.
A production version of mesj is intended to protect private messages and plans using established, independently scrutinised encryption — not a proprietary Quinn Labs cryptographic system.
Encryption must cover the actual production journey, including message delivery, devices, attachments and recovery. Any future claim will be made only after implementation and specialist review.
Possible models under investigation include:
mesj will not be funded by placing advertisements inside private conversations or selling private conversational data.
