AI firms like PimEyes and Clearview.AI scrape billions of photos of people off of the Internet, then shovel them into AI facial recognition surveillance systems to track your every move. Haven protects you by modifying all footage of users in a way that makes it indecipherable to facial recognition models. All media you upload is safe from Big Brother's prying eyes.

Needing to use words like “unalive”, “music festival”, "le dollar bean", and "Ta!wan" instead of what you actually want to say is a idea pulled straight out of dystopian fiction. We're creating a place where people don’t have to worry about being shadowbanned for talking about topics important to them.

Every video and image uploaded to Haven is automatically "poisoned" against AI using tools similar to Glaze and Nightshade. If an AI ingests the art to use as training material, the AI cannot learn anything from it, or worse, learns wrong. This gives artists the power to enforce their creative rights. If AI companies pay the artist for the unpoisoned version, they'll be fine. But if they use the art without the artist's permission, the AI model is sabotaged. We're setting landmines for the AI.

Poisoning art is out of reach for many because it requires an expensive graphics card and technical know-how. But with Haven, you can use ours for free. We make it easy for everyone to protect their art, livelihood, and biometrics. 

Haven makes it possible for art to be poisoned at a massive scale. As poisoned art is shared, it will become densely spread across every site, and even better, it's unmarked. AI art scrapers will quickly learn to avoid Haven, but our hidden landmines are spread internet-wide. The scrapers will have no safe harbor.

Social media companies want you to be angry. When you're angry, you doomscroll more, and make them more money. But we believe this is dangerous and self-destructive for society. Agitating users every time they open the app leaves everyone constantly tense and at each other's throats.

To prevent this, Haven's algorithm will promote quality content over engaging-by-any-means content. On other platforms, creators intentionally post irritating, deceptive, drama-stirring content because any interaction, even negative interaction, counts as engagement, and more engagement means more algorithmic boost. Haven prevents this by promoting videos based on the amount of positive engagement with the video, not total engagement. Don’t feed the trolls.

Do you want the beloved reverse chronological feed back? You’ll get it with Haven.  

Most platforms force their creators to be at the mercy of a fickle, inscrutable, and manipulative algorithm. Figuring out how to please the algorithm can take just as much effort as creating the rest of the video! It's frustrating to make quality videos and have the algorithm shadowban them because you crossed an invisible tripwire. We ensure our algorithm's inner workings are clear and well-explained, to help creators develop a trusting relationship with Haven.

Our creators will be compensated better than any other platform. In addition to the normal creator compensation, we give users rewards when they help us categorize posts or report rule-breaking posts, which they can then give directly to their favorite creators. 

Moving your content from one site to another is tedious and frustrating. But with Haven, it couldn’t be easier. We will gather all your videos, your art, and your following lists from other sites, and copy them over to Haven for you. This allows your audience to quickly find you again on a new site.
