“Democracy needs infrastructure that anyone can use, modify, and improve.” — Audrey Tang
Voxit is an open-source, research-backed, and adaptable platform designed to power collective sense-making.
What is Voxit?
Voxit is a European tech platform for online digital discourse. It aligns with democratic values through non-addictive design. Voxit is focussed on increasing public trust by creating uncommon ground. Both it’s algorithmic transparency and depolarising design contribute to strengthening the democratic information space.
Voxit is a European implementation of Polis, adapted to align with EU democratic values, data protection standards (GDPR), and accessibility. Voxit is a participation tool, where thousands of people can enter into digital discourse to explore a policy theme or issue, through statements that they themselves can add to the conversation.
