Last updated: January 1, 2026

1. Introduction

Welcome to the social network operated by ASSMPE.

This social network was created as a space for free communication, exchange of opinions, and discussion of issues related to the future of humanity, the condition of the planet, natural resources, animals, the environment, demographics, consumption, and other related topics.

The main purpose of the network is to give people the opportunity to discuss difficult and complex issues without requiring them to agree with one another.

Different opinions are welcome here.

A user may support a particular idea, oppose it, or consider it completely wrong.

By using the social network, you agree to comply with these Terms of Use.

If you do not agree with these terms, you should not use the social network.


2. The Main Principle of the Network

This network was created for discussion, not for the destruction of people.

We do not support war, mass killing, terrorism, physical violence, or forcing people to live according to a particular way of life.

Discussion, criticism, analysis, or expression of personal opinions concerning such subjects is permitted within the limits of applicable law.

The main principle of the network is:

people may disagree with one another, but disagreement should not turn into a desire to destroy one another.


3. Freedom of Expression

One of the fundamental principles of this network is respect for individual freedom.

We do not claim that a person must have a particular number of children.

We do not require anyone to stop having children.

We do not require anyone to change their lifestyle.

We believe that questions concerning having children, consumption, and lifestyle should be discussed openly and consciously.

31. Our Principle

This social network was not created to make everyone think alike.

It was created so that people can talk about difficult questions.

You can agree.

You can disagree.

You can argue.

You can criticize.

You can propose a completely different path.

But freedom of opinion should not become a right to harm other people.

We want to create a space where people can discuss the future of humanity without needing to destroy one another.

We believe that questions concerning demographics, nature, animals, resources, and the future of the planet are too important to prevent people from discussing them.

At the same time, we believe that addressing these questions should be based on freedom, conscious choice, and respect for human life.

You have the right to your own opinion.

Another person has the right to a different opinion.

And we believe that both should be able to express it.
