Before telling you about our user groups, we'd like to explain some of our motivations for working this way. Very often, those who read our information view some of our explanations as an attempt to put us on the defensive; others, fortunately very few, believe we're trying to appear better than we are; and some, whom we won't define in any way, to avoid sounding vulgar, tell us that, like almost everyone else, we're trying to manipulate and simply spread propaganda to convince as many people as possible to join us. Our public information is all published after the collective work of various groups, and everything we say is the truth and reality, verifiable by anyone, even by simply creating a free personal profile. Therefore, it doesn't require any annual fee, there's no obligation to be present, and there's no need to volunteer to operate our mechanism. Many things are better understood from the inside than from the outside.

Get used to the fact that, as in any system, our political organization, in order to win elections and to be able to make laws and govern in the interests and for the good of the entire world population, making everyone a protagonist, needs votes, which are obtained in elections thanks to the consensus gained by the people. Unlike everyone else, however, we don't need to declare ourselves on the right side, we don't have to lie (we just tell the truth), we don't have to convince anyone (anyone who thinks for a few minutes understands the enormous difference and our infinite potential), we don't have to try to convince anyone (because our system is explained in a fairly simple and short initial informative article; the rest are rules, methodologies, instructions, and motivations that make everything work as smoothly as possible), and all this because we all always use logic, common sense, truth, reality, study, and mutual respect, which make us unique and inimitable, different and better than everyone else (with concrete data that no one can deny, and verifiable by anyone). In short, we simply need to explain how we communicate, how we collaborate, how we work, and how we decide, to create the best propaganda in the world, with concrete facts.

What is certainly one of our strong points is teamwork, which has never been implemented in this way in the history of humanity, and never with such results.

But let's begin explaining this concept with a fundamental question, which answers a very simple one: why do we implement such rules, and everyone else, and those who come after us, never will? It's because of selfishness, greed, and everyone's need to have fame, wealth, and power for themselves, their loved ones, and their relatives, friends, and acquaintances. What may seem like an act of justice (wanting to live better) and generosity (doing it for yourself, but also for relatives, friends, and acquaintances) is actually the downfall of all other systems, because, for example (and there are countless examples), to share with a few, you must necessarily take from many, and even those who seem most "generous" actually don't hesitate to create a false community, but only for a few groups, and for a few lobbies, to the detriment of everyone else. The brilliance of our system, along with many of our strengths, is its collective nature, implemented through our shared, real, and concrete leadership; the collective ownership of all our official members, who receive a single, non-cumulative and non-transferable individual share; and our teamwork. From the moment one of our five original creators proposed creating a similar system, innovative and alternative to everything that existed and will exist after us, based on justice and equity, always combined with meritocracy, it has always been a team effort, which then evolved into a group effort—but not by groups of power and privileged individuals, but always remaining collective, coordinated, orderly, secure, and perfectly organized. Only a very few people fail to understand the enormous potential and enormous benefits, including social benefits, of such a system. If you compare DirectDemocracyS with all the systems of the past, present, and future, you will never find anyone better than us in terms of consistency, reliability, and system architecture. In practice, we apply detailed rules to craft every word, every sentence, every public article, and all those—and there are hundreds—not yet published. Shared decisions, collective ownership, and potentially infinite individual and group freedom, which ends only where the freedom of another person or group begins; authentic, direct democracy, with complete management and continuous control by our voters over our political representatives, before, during, and, for the first time in the world, even after elections—all this is integrated with unique and truly inimitable rules and methodologies. We've already talked about this, but we like to repeat certain concepts, not out of presumption or vanity, but because in DirectDemocracyS, every word of every sentence connects perfectly with every other, and without an overview, it's impossible to grasp all the various connections. Without long and repetitive introductions, it's impossible to understand our motivations, which are never banal or useless.

We've discussed many types of groups, and today we'll tell you about the groups of each of our users, which are essential to making our system function perfectly. But first, let's define the word group. In traditional systems, there's a single individual who rules over everyone. In virtually all other systems, which are pyramidal, vertical, always top-down, and fail because they only generate debt (because they spend public money poorly, with enormous waste, to give gifts to a few, while then making many pay), power is "diluted" and diminished based on the individual's role on the social ladder. The highest rung gets everything, and those who "hold the whole ladder" have no chance. We'd like to give you a simple example to make everyone understand the reality: privatization. This seemingly fair and equitable method is actually one of the most despicable and unfair things. In short, in some countries, it was decided that to implement competition (which in theory should lead to more affordable prices and therefore benefits for everyone), many public companies had to be privatized, opening them up to private capital. Initially, things were indeed better; prices had dropped slightly. But let's ask you a few questions: who could afford to buy large stakes and shares in these companies? Only the rich and those who rightfully held the necessary money, leaving the poor, and even the middle class, insignificant stakes and percentages. And whoever holds the majority decides on all the managers, and therefore, decides the various strategies. By deciding various things, the value of the shares increased, and the rich could sell and make a profit, and at the same time they were always allowed to fall. And while the poor sold to avoid losing too much, the rich, having already made a profit, bought back very cheaply, and repeated, and will repeat, this method ad infinitum. Some will tell us that these are the laws of the market and that it has always been this way, and that is precisely the point. If laws aren't fair and equitable, they need to be changed, in the interest of the entire community. But then the prices that seemed better with privatization, with the creation of lobbies, corporations, and market dominance, continued to rise, despite the apparent "competition and competition" that these privatizations initially brought to the poor. A bit like the reward given to animals that diligently and without protest carry out the actions required by their supervisors. Not to mention privatizations in certain countries, which have literally destroyed the finances and economies of entire countries, without creating anything in return. They bought, privatized, bankrupted, and eliminated competition. As always, a few profit, and many, many forgive almost everything. Then prices rise, justifying everything with various types of crises. Have you ever seen, when crises end, prices remain practically unchanged, since people have already become accustomed to these prices, so why should they go down? Even if the "crisis" is over, another will soon begin, and guess who will suffer the most? With Covid-19, pharmaceutical companies have earned enormous sums; with the various wars, companies that produce and market weapons have earned enormous sums; with the destruction and reconstruction, companies in the sector will earn enormous sums; practically all the usual rich, powerful, and famous profit from deaths, injuries, destruction, and fear, suffered especially by the lower middle classes. These are not conspiracies, but undeniable facts. Let's talk about prices again. The historic lows in the price of oil are linked to major global crises of overcapacity , both in the recent past and in previous decades.

Periods when oil prices were at their lowest ever:

1. The collapse of COVID-19 (April 2020)

The lowest point in recent history occurred during the global pandemic lockdowns. Due to the total halt in transportation and the saturation of storage facilities:

• WTI oil dropped below zero: On April 20, 2020, the price of WTI hit an all-time low of -$37.63 per barrel (sellers paid buyers to take delivery).
• Brent crude fell to a low of around $15-19 a barrel in the same month .

2. The years preceding the Ukrainian crisis (2021)

Before the rally that preceded the Russian invasion, in January 2021 , Brent was trading at a much lower average of around $54.77 a barrel , as the global economy was just beginning to recover from the shutdowns.

The historical lows of the past

Going further back in time, the lowest nominal prices (not adjusted for inflation) in the last 40 years occurred during two specific crises:

Before the Russian invasion of Ukraine (which occurred on February 24, 2022), oil prices averaged between $90 and $97 per barrel for Brent and around $86–$92 per barrel for WTI (West Texas Intermediate).

• January 2022: Brent averaged around $89-90 a barrel.
• February 2022 (before 24): The average price of Brent had risen to around $97.13 a barrel , driven by growing geopolitical tensions on the Ukrainian border, while WTI was hovering around $86-90 .
• Immediately after the invasion (February 24, 2022): Brent quickly broke above $100-$105 a barrel (reaching peaks of over $118-$127 in the following weeks).

With the recent crisis and the conflict between the United States, Israel and Iran that broke out at the end of February 2026, oil prices have undergone huge fluctuations mainly due to strategic blockages in the Strait of Hormuz , a key channel through which approximately 20% of the world's crude oil passes.

The price trend has seen very marked alternating phases:

• Initial phase of the attack and peaks (March–May 2026): Following the military incursions and the progressive closure of the Strait, prices soared due to fears about global supplies. Crude oil reached and surpassed the critical threshold of $100–$108 a barrel .
• The June Crash (Fake Truce): By mid-June 2026, the illusion of a peace agreement (a Memorandum that later proved null and void) and the temporary reopening of Hormuz had caused a 5% drop. Brent had rapidly fallen to around $83 a barrel and WTI to $80 , almost returning to pre-conflict levels.
• The new escalation (Autumn 2026): With the collapse of the agreement, the resumption of fighting, and the spread of tensions to the Red Sea via the Houthis, the market repriced risk. Prices returned to a stable rise above $100 a barrel (with Brent trading at around $103.91 and WTI above $91-92 in early October).

In short, unlike the historical lows of the past driven by oversupply, this crisis has caused a sharp increase and keeps prices steadily high and volatile due to geopolitical instability in the Middle East.

With all this data, one thing is certain: even at the end of a crisis, prices don't fall at logical rates, but at those imposed by a globalized and selfish market, and guess who always loses? And as soon as one crisis ends, those with the power and the means immediately create another, or even multiple crises simultaneously, always to make a profit for a few, and always the same people.

And what would our solutions be? It's very simple to change and improve the rules, all the rules. Certainly not by violating private property; no one will lose money and assets if wealth is obtained in ethically and morally correct ways, respecting all laws, respecting workers, and respecting our planet. First, we must spend efficiently, without waste, tax income in a truly progressive manner, make everyone pay for everything, everywhere, at exactly the same rate, at the same percentages, without tax havens, and precisely, geographically, where the revenues originate. This will prevent delocalization and job losses. Eliminating bureaucracy, crime, and all forms of corruption. Eliminating and resolving all the various crises, intelligently and efficiently preventing all future ones. And many other radical, courageous, but just and fair proposals.

Many people will ask: what does all this have to do with user groups in DirectDemocracyS? These groups, while fully respecting individual freedoms, allow each of our users, regardless of their type, to have one or more such groups, with dedicated, private, and even public presentation pages, events, and all the capabilities needed to do excellent work. These groups prevent impulsive, hasty decisions and prevent many potential errors. In DirectDemocracyS, these groups are created, managed, and controlled according to very detailed, yet simple and secure, implementation rules. We believe that two or more people are more attentive and can share roles and responsibilities, resulting in better and more comprehensive work. For these reasons, while traditional hierarchies exist, they are all entirely merit-based. Merit, with equal rules for everyone, is demonstrated concretely in DirectDemocracyS through the points accumulated by each person, the groups they belong to, and the length of time they have been active in our system. Those with the most points and who have been with us the longest demonstrate concretely their worthy roles of greater importance and responsibility, but that doesn't prevent anyone who joins us, at any time, from demonstrating their value, their skills, and their merits. If our methods and rules were applied worldwide, there would certainly be fewer problems, because the entire population would be in charge and therefore making decisions, not just a few leaders, often with private interests.

Of course, implementing our system requires a lot of hard work, a lot of patience, a lot of determination, and a change and improvement in everyone's mentality. It won't be easy, but we will do it for our own good, and for the good of all future generations.

We have written and will continue to write numerous informative articles about our groups, of various types and in countless categories, explaining that anyone who wishes and meets all the requirements can become an official member. This, along with their personal group (with people individually selected or added at their request by our member-search teams for individual groups), can join many other groups, where everyone is a key player. This meritocracy of ours, always united and guaranteed for all, along with equality, makes our system different and better. We have no need to lie or attempt to manipulate—in fact, it would be counterproductive for us—because DirectDemocracyS, to make the best choices, needs not a few top leaders, but intelligent and competent users who can manage and control. These leaders will inevitably always make the right choice, that of our collective human intelligence, which, integrated with the best technologies, will help us be useful to everyone, even those who fear us, who don't understand us, and even those who can't stand us. For us, the common good belongs to everyone, whether they are within our system, and therefore protagonists, or outside, as spectators. This, too, makes us different and better: the fact that we give everyone the same opportunities, and don't relegate them to perpetually remaining helpless and passive spectators, as almost everyone is, in all other systems.

The various activities and steps we explain might often seem complicated at first glance, or you might think it would take too long to do everything exactly as explained. We offer everyone free, ongoing contact forms in every language, which will provide all the support you need to complete everything quickly, easily, securely, discreetly, and in an organized manner down to the smallest details. Based on tests, the entire process can take between 11 and 15 minutes.

To join us by registering and creating a personal profile, which is free—no annual fee, no attendance required, and no volunteer work required to operate our vast system—you'll need to carefully and thoroughly study our system with an open mind. You'll also need to understand our rules, methodologies, instructions, and the rationale behind all of our decisions.

You must also have prepared and chosen according to our rules: a username, which will be your name in our system and the only visible personal information that does not identify you (we recommend using a nickname, or a 2- or 3-letter ISO code for your country, followed by a string of numbers, letters, and characters, or even just a random string of numbers, letters, and characters to remain completely anonymous), a secure password of at least 12 characters that you will not share with anyone and will keep in a safe place (it must contain non-consecutive and repeated numbers, uppercase and lowercase letters that do not form words and non-consecutive or repeated letters, and special characters), a personal, non-temporary email address from any email service provider that is adequately protected, and a personal mobile phone number. We repeat it for everyone: a username, a password of at least 12 characters, an email address, and a phone number are the only requirements to join us and register for a free personal profile. The rules for choosing your username can be found at this link:

https://www.directdemocracys.org/law/instructions/for-registration/best-username

After some initial phases, our DirectDemocracyS system has finalized its fundamental rules. Thanks to enormous collective effort, we finally have the foundation for a wide range of activities. Please note that these rules were voted on and approved unanimously, and any future changes or modifications will require unanimity, based on very detailed implementing rules.

Before continuing, a very brief explanation.

To never lose our identity, we had to prevent our fundamental rules from being overturned, to try to boycott, slow down, or worse, stop DirectDemocracy. To do this, while allowing the system to evolve and adapt to future needs, we had to prevent any bad people from organizing within us to undermine the effectiveness of our activities and ruin our previous work. The only possible way: unanimity. Our entire shared leadership, composed of all our registered users with verified and guaranteed identities, in good standing with annual dues and compliant with mandatory attendance and volunteer activities, must agree to any change to any fundamental rule for our enormous mechanism to function . The various methodologies for applying our fundamental rules have been explained and published.

At this point, the two questions everyone is asking are: 1. Who decided this fundamental rule and all the others, and 2. How can we be sure that everyone actually voted for the entire list with the fundamental rules? Literally all our fundamental rules have been proposed, selected, discussed, decided, tested, and voted on, based on our voting rules; all the necessary documentation exists. Each of our official members, as collective owners of our entire system, has been able, can be, and will always be able to propose any rule, and any activity. If our collective of owners approves it, and it is ratified by our shared leadership, any change will be voted on, and if approved, it will be made final and binding on everyone. The list of fundamental rules has always been under constant debate, and with everyone's input, the final variations have been decided, taking into account the interests of the entire global population. Anyone with the legal right to do so could propose rules, ideas, projects, or challenge any single rule, including the fundamental ones. But throughout the various phases, we found many intelligent solutions to prevent virtually every undesirable activity and resolve every potential problem. Those who were with us during these activities in the previous phases could play a leading role, just as anyone who joins us in the subsequent phases will.

The first fundamental rule with which we created DirectDemocracyS is: all rules must always be respected by everyone! We added that the rules are the same for everyone, and everyone must have the same rights and duties, the same opportunities, rewarding the most deserving.

Numerous groups with numerous users were created for literally every rule, and practically every sentence in our public articles, and every piece of information we provided. Voting subgroups were created within the respective groups, and each person was able to vote for various lists of interconnected rules. After lengthy voting periods, solutions and rationales were found to give a final, collective, and unanimous vote on all these rules. We voted and decided unanimously among all types of users authorized to vote in our system, and all these groups created entities, which we call grand electors, who approved all these fundamental rules. It was difficult to oppose them because they are logical rules, based on common sense and mutual respect.

The basic rules for minors under 18.

With the new fundamental rules for the activities of our users under 18 within our system, we have made identity verification mandatory for all those who wish to join us. This is to prevent and therefore prevent the registration of users under 18 without the authorization of both parents or, as applicable, both legal guardians. Anyone over 16 may join us, but those under 18 require the authorization of both parents or, as applicable, both legal guardians. Parents who have joined us with higher-level users are permitted to register their children, even if they are under 16, provided that the parent or legal guardian maintains full and continuous supervision of all the minor's activities within our system, and assumes full responsibility for all such activities. Voting rights for those under 18. At the system level, anyone over the age of 16 can vote, but in some of our national organizations, voting may require a minimum age of 18, which is binding, authorized, and authenticated.

Let's explain in detail the reasons behind this definitive and fundamental decision. But first, a brief introduction. While DirectDemocracyS is a system that has nothing in common with traditional social networks, we all believe it is important for everyone to use all technologies consciously and safely, including the Internet. Regarding the protection of minors under 18, the only way to prevent any potential problems is to identify all those who join us and require that anyone who registers does so in compliance with all our rules.

At this point, many people will rightly tell us: you're being inconsistent. You guaranteed that anyone could register for free, with no obligation to be present or perform any activity, to make the enormous DirectDemocracyS mechanism work! We must respond directly to this statement. In fact, we are doing so; we haven't made any changes to the registration and profile creation process. The only thing that's changed is that we won't activate anyone's personal profile unless they have a verified identity, via video call, according to our implementing rules. This is the only effective way to prevent anyone under 18 from joining us without the authorization of both parents, or, as the case may be, both legal guardians. It's also the only way to reward the best users, or to punish, block, and, if necessary, permanently ban anyone who doesn't comply with all our rules. Under the old rules, if someone broke our rules and we kicked them out, they would simply lose all the points they'd accumulated before being kicked out. They would simply need to create a new email address, username, and phone number to register again. So, this new rule puts our fundamental rule into practice: each person can join DirectDemocracyS only once in their lifetime, creating a single personal profile. We'll give you another reason that'll surely give you something to think about: let's compare DirectDemocracyS to traditional social networks. Traditional social networks don't verify their users' identities because their owners value the number of users more than the quality of the people who join them. We're certain that there aren't even serious, competent, and deserving users on traditional social networks, but there are also people with fake personal profiles, often impersonating other people, or famous companies, users with many profiles—even dozens, hundreds, or, in some cases, even thousands. You can also find profiles that have been inactive for months, or even years. Not to mention the countless fake news, the countless useless activities, the countless meaningless posts, and the enormous amount of time wasted trying to find something we're interested in, having to skip the countless posts "recommended" by their systems and algorithms, in addition, of course, to the countless advertising. In practice, they are rightfully and legitimately able to promote what they want and render virtually invisible what they don't want people to know. They can also engage in mental manipulation, with very serious consequences, as demonstrated by the very serious events that occur. Then there's the advertising, the constant announcements, and the unwanted activities suggested by their algorithms, also based on our searches, that we truly waste a lot of time trying to find something useful and interesting. And then, on traditional social networks, there's almost always no guarantee of protection for our personal data, which can be accessed virtually anywhere and by anyone, allowing anyone to take our photos, those of our children, and find out where we go, with whom, and for what purpose. Of course, we ourselves make all this possible by publishing practically everything, often to appear more attractive and interesting, and we often do so by lying or entering false information. We ourselves have created a society where we feel the need to be protagonists. The managers and owners of social networks focus on doing their job, making money, and they give us the space to do so and offer us an audience of potential spectators to whom we can show our "act" or our lives, only to then complain if the situation escalates. Please note: we don't condemn the managers and owners of other platforms; on the contrary, we congratulate them on their brilliance and their ability to make money. We don't condemn those who do practically everything on social networks, but we criticize those who engage in despicable activities and denounce those who create fake news or harm others with their behavior. At DirectDemocracyS, everything is different and better, even on the platform level. Public areas are reserved for a few generic announcements, and the real activities—that is, almost all of our work—take place in private groups. Some activities and results are then displayed on presentation pages, which are either private or visible to those who have joined us (depending on their user type), and in some cases even to outsiders. We have areas where our official members work, where it is not possible to hide your activities. Let's explain: if someone looks at another user's photo, or views a published document, or simply posts, they're recorded in log files, like everyone else. And if a photo, document, or piece of information leaves these restricted areas without the owner's consent, it's easy for our outgoing information verification teams to determine who did it and take appropriate disciplinary action. Why are we so attentive to every detail? Because what we do is incredibly important, and we believe that one of the worst evils of all other systems is the ability to circumvent the rules, which in turn creates a lack of security, which in turn creates unequal rules for everyone. What we do at DirectDemocracyS has a much more real and impactful impact on everyone's lives, unlike anti-establishment groups or even small, traditional political groups that exploit traditional social networks in the hope of gaining consensus. Serious politics is conducted seriously, on serious platforms, with shared leadership and collective ownership, which manages and verifies literally everything. This is done by granting groups and individuals the ability to continuously and completely control everything, verifying that everything proceeds in a regular, honest, fair, orderly, organized, confidential, secure, and reliable manner. In addition to the technologies, operating systems, and our Artificial Intelligence, which are collective and therefore managed by groups, and potentially by all our official members, it is our groups and their respective members that create our Collective Human Intelligence, which, by verifying every single "like" and every single comment, from everyone, ensures that it is done in compliance with the rules we all agreed upon, which are based on logic, common sense, truth, reality, study, equality, and meritocracy, enforcing mutual respect. At this point, you may be asking: do you really believe anyone would join DirectDemocracyS, with so many controls? We answer: absolutely yes, because everyone is monitored, and if someone respects all our rules and does nothing wrong, they have nothing to fear from all these controls. We add that our success is so great that it often exceeds our ability to welcome and integrate all the people who ask, and forces us to block new activations or new user registrations, even for long periods. If engaging in politics on traditional social networks offers a huge audience, doing so with DirectDemocracyS on our platforms is more useful and more concrete. Let's give you some examples: how often is certain content written by you, or others, deleted or blocked? Their algorithms, their managers, their programmers, and their owners create the rules for their respective communities, regarding what, how, when, and whether things can be done or said. At DirectDemocracyS, we repeat, users decide all this, with shared leadership and collective ownership. We ourselves create, manage, and control the algorithms, and therefore decide everything. We ourselves, both humans and machines, are the only algorithms, and we are set up for the common good, for our system, for those within it, and even for those outside. We must recognize that in some cases their algorithms eliminate or block objectionable content, as we do too. However, generally they block or eliminate content that could truly change and improve the world, perhaps because it is inconvenient for certain lobbies. In our delicate initial phases, a popular social network blocked literally all our content for over three long months, and only when we threatened to take them to court for various offenses against freedom of expression did they reactivate us. But obviously their algorithms have made us virtually invisible outside our platforms, hoping to boycott us, slow us down, or worse, stop us. As often happens to those who seek to do harm, this harm comes back to them like a boomerang. In fact, by not giving us visibility, they've allowed us to grow more slowly and thus have more suitable people join us, rather than global fame, which would have actually caused us some technical problems, but above all, by attracting incompatible and even incompetent people to join us. In our public areas, you'll almost never see photos of kittens, strange videos, perhaps made with various technologies, or even content from inconsistent influencers teaching people what to do, what to think, and even who to love. You won't see constant greetings, superfluous messages, and often heartfelt good wishes. Overall, you'll only see things that are useful to everyone, and you won't have to waste time scrolling through useless content; you'll find everything you're looking for quite easily. Of course, nothing is stopping you from continuing all your activities if you join us, but we request exclusivity only for political activities. If you join us, you will conduct them exclusively on our platforms, requesting—and, if you meet all the requirements, obtaining—all authorizations for every activity, we repeat, political, conducted outside our system and outside our platforms. The reasons are logical and can be found in some of our informative articles on politics.

Some may be frightened by all these rules, methodologies, and instructions, but for every decision we make, we have serious reasons that compel us to carry out each activity in a certain way.

At this point, many will decide not to join us because they fear for their privacy, and because they wanted to remain anonymous, and practically invisible from the outside, and even from the inside.

We've updated our Privacy Policy, and you can still find it at this link:

https://www.directdemocracies.org/law/rules/privacy

We respect this decision not to join us, however, due to identity verification, even though it makes little sense not to do so, since each person who joins us is guaranteed anonymity and partial invisibility, both externally and internally (only their username can be shown, which can be a nickname, a string of letters, numbers, and random characters, or a 2- or 3-letter ISO code for their country followed by a string). Therefore, invisibility is guaranteed, and from both inside and outside our system, everyone will only know their username and will not know any personal information. Invisibility and anonymity are guaranteed at all times and for everyone, due to the way the various stages of identity verification are carried out: in short, codes are circulating for all these activities, which cannot be linked together except by authorized individuals from specific groups of trusted individuals, and with serious motivations. Those verifying their identity simply need to verify via video call that the person in front of them is actually the person in their ID photo (which they will show to a randomly selected member of an ID verification group, also drawn at random). For obvious reasons, the identity verification video call contains no reference to the username chosen by the verified person, so no one can connect the various data unless there is a serious reason and the authorization of the groups and truly trustworthy personnel.

Why do we check compatibility and declared skills? Without compatibility between those who join us and our system, it would be a waste of time for everyone: for us, because we would have incompatible people within our team, and for those who join us, because they would be joining a system they don't like. So, if you're simply curious, don't join us; follow us from the outside. Compatibility is checked with one of our online tests (randomly assigned to each person) and with a compatibility verification video call, which confirms good results on the online test. The rationale is simple and sensible: if a person uses one or more technologies to achieve a good test result, during a live video call, we can verify whether they took the test alone or with the help of someone or something.

Everyone who joins us declares their skills before they can register. At DirectDemocracyS, we only care about two things: what the user knows well, and what they can do well. Unity in diversity, the natural selection of those who join us at various stages, and the fundamental principle of placing the right people in the right positions, on a basis of equality combined with meritocracy, are essential to maintaining a professional system. In addition to the online skills test, which is different for each person and assigned randomly from all those available for each specialization, there is also a video call with one of our experts, selected randomly from one of the groups of specialists also selected randomly, to personally verify the actual skills declared by each user. Of course, the credential, certificate, and diploma verification teams will verify the educational background, all documents submitted, with all relevant authorities, and the various qualifications. These steps are mandatory for everyone, also to allow higher-level users to apply to join our specialist groups. Obviously, no qualifications are required to join us; anyone can tell the truth and tell us what they know and do well. If deemed useful to our system, they can join us. The public sections of our site are used primarily for announcements; the real work is done in groups and is made public on various pages, all according to very detailed implementation rules. Only competent and deserving individuals are allowed to join our specialist groups.

The steps, in chronological order, are: Step 1: Learn about our system; Step 2: Study all our information with the right mindset; Step 3: Decide to join us; and Step 4: Introduce yourself to the system by filling out a simple, short yet detailed, and secure contact form. We remind you not to specify your chosen username in your introduction, for two simple reasons: the first is because you don't know whether the username you've chosen is available or not (you'll find out when you request identity verification by entering a username in the request form; our system will inform you if the username you've chosen is available). The second reason is to prevent your real personal data from being linked to your username by any of our users (who will physically read the contact form you use to introduce yourself to our system).

After the compatibility and skills check, which is performed without any identification, we will proceed with the identity verification video call. Each phase has very detailed implementation rules; in the first two phases, only the username linked to an email address and a phone number are verified. During the identity verification video call, we check that the visible person is the same as the photo on the ID document. At each phase, members of different groups are involved, and no personal data is shared between them, only the actual progress of the various phases. Please note: all documents uploaded to our platforms, by anyone, are automatically encrypted and separated from each other with unique verification codes. They are managed separately, at various phases, by specific activities, with no connection between individuals, members, and groups . For each stage of each verification activity for the various documents submitted, internally and through various external institutions from various countries, a randomly selected group is selected to verify identity documents, credentials, certificates, and diplomas. A randomly selected member of that group performs a single verification activity without obtaining personal data and without being able to link a username to the identity documents, which obviously contain the sender's actual personal data. Since humans and technology cannot, without justified authorization, and permitted only by truly trustworthy groups and members, link a username to actual personal data, anyone can remain completely anonymous while keeping our entire system secure, orderly, and organized.

We're answering some questions about these new fundamental rules in advance.

Now that DirectDemocracy verifies the identity of everyone who joins its system, will even free users, or users of lower levels, be able to participate in shared leadership, and even collective ownership?

As we have always explained, to truly and fully participate in our shared leadership, based on equality and meritocracy, it is not enough to simply have a verified and guaranteed identity. At least two other obligations are essential: contributing an annual fee to our self-financing, which guarantees us real and concrete freedom and financial independence. Anyone wishing to become a higher-level user must also volunteer for at least 20 minutes a day, with one or more logins, or alternatively, at least 120 minutes a week, on one or more days, with one or more logins daily.

Registered users with verified and guaranteed identities make up our shared leadership.

Only those with a verified and guaranteed identity, who have paid their annual membership fee (€6.25 per year if they are under 31, or €12.50 per year if they are over 31, plus 1, 2, or 3 additional years of a single annual membership fee, paid the first year, for those with low incomes or no income), and who are required to participate in all volunteer activities, can become our registered users, with a verified and guaranteed identity, and therefore vote in an authorized, binding, and valid manner, and be part of our shared leadership.

Official members who make up our collective ownership across the entire system, through a single, non-cumulative and non-transferable individual action.

A registered user with a verified and guaranteed identity becomes an official member only if they are up to date with their annual fee (€12.50 per year if they are under 31, or €25 per year if they are over 31, plus 1, 2, or 3 additional years of a single annual fee, paid in the first year for those with low incomes or no income), and who performs mandatory attendance and all volunteer activities. After paying the full annual fee, this person can first become our registered user with a verified and guaranteed identity, and therefore vote in an authorized, binding, and valid manner, and be part of our shared leadership. They can also apply to become our official member, thus benefiting from the full potential of being part of our collective ownership. In short, to be not only decisive, but even an owner of DirectDemocracyS, one must be a protagonist, not a spectator. Furthermore, to be part of any serious political force, one must pay a contribution of varying size, usually an annual fee, and engage in various activities, so our decisions are logical, common-sense, and respectful of all people.

Will the various websites of the various platforms also change?

These will be small but crucial changes, such as the creation of a website that chronicles the history of DirectDemocracyS. For now, it's only visible to a few authorized users, at this link:

https://old.directdemocracys.org/

But when the time is right, when we simplify, innovate, update, and integrate some of our websites, it will be possible to see an important part of our history.

Based on the final core rules, all the various implementing rules and all the relevant information will be modified and updated. Please remember that each previous rule is supplemented by the next one, which, if necessary, repeals certain sections, to allow the new rules to be implemented immediately. As always, anyone with a personal profile who has not completed all the various phases of this regulation must immediately implement each phase of each activity under the new rules.

We generally have very disciplined users who quickly comply because they understand our motivations. We just hope that those who visit us and study our system also understand that if we decide anything, we all do it together, in the collective interest.

We conclude with our position on the use of social networks and various technologies by minors. If you reread everything published regarding our system, you'll be amazed at the enormous consistency of everything we say, publish, and show you. Above all, you'll realize that we've never generalized, and if we have, our statements were unimpeachable, therefore they were and are true and based on reality. In the following section, we criticize, in a harsh and seemingly paternalistic tone, certain behaviors that are undoubtedly wrong, which create enormous problems for the community. We make no apologies for telling the truth and showing you the reality, and we know that good people are always the majority, and that fortunately, for humanity as a whole, certain reprehensible or wrong behaviors are only a minority. So, the previous sentences, therefore, everything we've told you, and everything we've said forever, is based on undeniable facts, therefore on incontestable truth. Of course, you are free to challenge what we say, but you will always make a terrible impression by doing so, because the truth and reality are visible to literally everyone, even those who pretend not to see.

When we delegate the education of our children, grandchildren, and young people in general to other people and entities, rather than fulfilling our role as adults, we risk creating despicable and even dangerous situations. It's easier to blame others than to take responsibility. As with any innovative tool, it's not the institution or technology that's to blame, but the people who entrust their work to others. A knife, if used to cut bread, is useful; if used to wound and kill, it's dangerous. If used usefully and responsibly, a social network can be a valuable resource, and even a source of entertainment. However, if we engage in the wrong activities and collaborate with others without mutual respect, we risk creating serious problems. It's not a generational issue; each generation is the consequence of the previous ones. Therefore, those older people who say, "In my day, things were different, and life was better," should take responsibility, saying, "It's my fault and everyone else's, we've created a society with many cases where appearing is better than being." We've let others educate the new generations, so we're to blame. Ultimately, a society incapable of valuing young people is a failed society. What lessons, and above all, what goals, do you give your children and grandchildren? What future have you created for them? We at least try to empower everyone, in the only way possible, with equal rules and opportunities for all, rewarding the best, for healthy, fair, and honest competition. But who do we tell all this to? Perhaps mothers walking their children, smartphone in hand? Or fathers who say: we were better at my subjects, forgetting that many bad things were happening back then too, but there was less information, and it was a different kind of information, which gave less prominence to certain news, which today quickly goes viral. We appeal to everyone: don't limit yourselves to criticism, but offer solutions, get directly involved in changing and improving the world, and don't wait for others to do it for you. We know the truth hurts you, we know reality is sad, but there is still a chance we can do something, if we all join together.

DirectDemocracyS applies the same rules to everyone, so there are no exceptions for any reason. Those who are already with us and don't have their identity verified and guaranteed will have to follow a slightly different procedure than those who join us after this informational article is published.

First, we need to clarify something: verified and guaranteed identity, for free user types and all lower user types, does not guarantee the blue check mark next to the username in our social area. The blue check mark is awarded free of charge only to those with one of the higher user types, whether registered users with verified and guaranteed identity (which is an integral part of our shared leadership) or official members (who, through a single, non-cumulative and non-transferable individual action, collectively own our entire system), who are up-to-date with their annual dues (as explained previously in this informative article), and who are up-to-date with their voluntary activities (presence and concrete activities) to grant our system freedom and financial and economic independence, and to keep our enormous mechanism functioning. Regarding annual dues, those with very low incomes receive numerous benefits and advantages, as we explain in this informative article, at this link:

https://www.directdemocracys.org/law/rules/all-our-rules/rules-for-help/help-people-in-difficulty

As you may have noticed, everyone must pay an annual fee, but for those with lower incomes, the first annual fee lasts longer. From two years to a maximum of four years, it offers concrete assistance to those in need who want to join us, representing a higher level of user. So, let's reiterate: the blue checkmark is only awarded to those who contribute the annual fee and perform concrete, ongoing work in our system. Identity verification alone isn't enough to obtain this blue checkmark, which guarantees that the person is trustworthy and active in DirectDemocracyS.

Those who are already with us will receive an email with all the instructions for the various stages of mandatory identity verification.

If you haven't received an email with identity verification instructions by December 2, 2026, you can submit a request for identity verification directly by logging in with your credentials to our contact website and completing a contact form at this link:

https://contacts.directdemocracys.org/contacts/user-contacts/verify-users-identity

will enter the requested data, and will ask for instructions for identity verification.

Anyone who does not have their identity verified and guaranteed by 11:59 PM (Greenwich Mean Time, London, UK) on December 31, 2026, will have deactivated their personal profile and will be able to reactivate it only after identity verification, which can be requested at this link, using a simple contact form:

https://contacts.directdemocracys.org/contacts/instructions-contacts/unlock-profile/unblock-user-profile

You will need to provide your username, email address, phone number, and primary country, specifying your preferred language for these important identity verification steps. You will receive a reply with full instructions.

We hope we've clarified these fundamental rules and the reasons behind our decisions. In the future, as we always have, we'll clarify each individual rule, explaining its content.

Equality and meritocracy

DirectDemocracyS consistently guarantees equality for all, always in line with meritocracy. Our rules, methodologies, and instructions are identical for everyone, and a system of individual and group points, which accumulate from the start, ensures meritocracy, which thus becomes evident and undeniable.

In traditional systems, after the vote, power passes to the parties.
With DirectDemocracyS, power always remains with the citizens.

Let's prevent democracy from turning into oligarchy by keeping participation active and concrete over time.

Our rules, methodologies, and instructions are identical for everyone, and a system of individual and group points, which accumulate from the start, ensures meritocracy, which thus becomes evident and undeniable.

Control and Accountability
Each role is continuously monitored, ensuring a balance between individual freedom, meritocracy, and accountability.

Rules based on logic and respect
The system is based on logic, common sense, truth, reality, study, consistency and mutual respect.

Security, privacy, and scalability
Data protection, guaranteed anonymity, and an autonomous, resilient, and ever-growing structure.

⚖️ A different system

In traditional systems, after the vote, power passes to the parties.
With DirectDemocracyS, power always remains with the citizens.

Let's prevent democracy from turning into oligarchy by keeping participation active and concrete over time.

Privacy Policy — DirectDemocracyS

Version: 1.0
Date of publication: 22 September 2026
Last update: 22 September 2026
Organisation: DirectDemocracyS
European Commission PIC: 881951064
Registered international office: str. Muzicii nr. 22, postal code 410514, Oradea, Bihor County, Romania, European Union
Privacy contact: privacy_support@directdemocracys.org
Data Protection Officer (DPO): Franco-Romeo Zaccherini

1. Introduction

DirectDemocracyS considers the protection of personal data, privacy, anonymity, confidentiality, security and individual freedom to be fundamental principles of its entire system.

This Privacy Policy explains, in detail, how DirectDemocracyS collects, receives, generates, processes, verifies, protects, stores, separates, transfers, archives and, where appropriate, deletes personal data.

This Policy applies to the DirectDemocracyS system, its websites, platforms, online services, internal areas, social areas, registration systems, verification systems, communication systems, administrative systems, security systems and authorised internal groups, insofar as they process personal data.

DirectDemocracyS does not consider privacy to be merely a legal obligation. Privacy is also an architectural, organisational and democratic principle.

The system is therefore designed around several fundamental concepts:

• data minimisation;

• purpose limitation;

• confidentiality;

• security;

• privacy by design;

• privacy by default;

• separation of personal identity from operational identity;

• anonymity wherever anonymity is compatible with the user's chosen or required user type;

• controlled visibility;

• need-to-know access;

• separation of verification phases;

• use of unique codes;

• restricted access to highly sensitive information;

• limited retention on network-accessible systems;

• long-term storage only where necessary and preferably in protected environments;

• accountability;

• transparency;

• user control over voluntarily disclosed information.

DirectDemocracyS recognises that different users have different requirements.

A person who participates only as a Free user does not necessarily need to reveal their legal identity.

A person who wishes to exercise rights that require a verified identity, participate in shared leadership, become an official member or perform official or political representation may need to undergo additional verification.

The amount of personal information processed therefore depends on the user's relationship with the system, the user type selected or obtained, the activities performed and the legal or security requirements applicable to those activities.

2. Legal Entity and Data Protection Contact

For the purposes of this Privacy Policy, the relevant DirectDemocracyS entity is identified as follows:

DirectDemocracyS

European Commission PIC: 881951064

Registered international office:

str. Muzicii nr. 22
410514 Oradea
Bihor County
Romania
European Union

Privacy contact:

privacy_support@directdemocracys.org

Data Protection Officer (DPO):

Franco-Romeo Zaccherini

Requests concerning personal data, privacy, identity verification records, access to personal information, correction, restriction, deletion, objection, portability or other applicable data protection rights may be directed to the privacy contact above.

Where a specific request requires additional verification that the requester is the person entitled to receive or modify the information, DirectDemocracyS may request only the minimum additional information necessary to verify that right.

DirectDemocracyS will not request unnecessary identity information merely because a user wishes to exercise a privacy right.

3. Scope of this Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy applies, as applicable, to:

1. visitors to public DirectDemocracyS websites;

2. Public users;

3. Test users;

4. Free users;

5. Guest users;

6. Access users;

7. Partially Registered users;

8. Verified users;

9. Members;

10. Politicians;

11. Representatives;

12. Owners;

13. Managers;

14. Responsible users;

15. Administrators;

16. SuperAdministrators;

17. Guarantors;

18. official representatives;

19. political representatives;

20. employees and collaborators, where their data are processed;

21. persons participating in identity verification;

22. persons participating in compatibility or skills verification;

23. persons communicating with DirectDemocracyS;

24. persons whose data are processed for security, legal, administrative, accounting or organisational purposes.

The terminology of user types is governed by the applicable DirectDemocracyS rules.

Not every user type has the same data requirements.

In particular, the fact that DirectDemocracyS may be able to verify a person's identity does not mean that the person's real identity is automatically visible to ordinary users.

4. Fundamental Privacy Principle of DirectDemocracyS

DirectDemocracyS follows a simple fundamental principle:

A person's identity should be known only when there is a legitimate reason to know it.

The system therefore separates, as far as technically and organisationally possible, the following concepts:

• the person's real-world identity;

• the person's DirectDemocracyS username;

• the person's email address;

• the person's telephone number;

• the person's verification codes;

• the person's compatibility information;

• the person's skills information;

• the person's identity-verification information;

• the person's public profile;

• the person's internal activities;

• the person's representative profile;

• security and administrative records.

These categories are not automatically interchangeable.

A person may therefore be known inside the operational system by a username without that username publicly revealing their real name.

5. Right to Anonymity

5.1 General principle

DirectDemocracyS recognises, wherever permitted by the user's user type and the applicable rules, a fundamental right to operate under an anonymous or non-identifying username.

For ordinary users, the username does not have to correspond to:

• the person's first name;

• the person's surname;

• their legal name;

• their address;

• their city;

• their telephone number;

• their email address;

• their date of birth;

• their employer;

• their professional identity;

• their social-media identity;

• or any other real-world identifying information.

A user may therefore participate using a username that has no obvious connection with their real identity.

The username is the person's operational identity within DirectDemocracyS.

6. How an Anonymous Username Can Be Chosen

A user may choose an anonymous username according to the applicable username rules.

Examples of privacy-preserving formats include:

6.1 A nickname

For example:

BlueMountain

provided that the nickname does not reveal information that the user does not wish to disclose and is not misleading or reserved for another role.

6.2 A country code combined with a random identifier

For example:

RO7F4K29

or another structure based on an ISO country code followed by a random combination of letters and numbers.

The country code itself does not have to identify the person's precise location.

6.3 A completely random identifier

For example:

X7Q9-M4P2-Z8

or another permitted random alphanumeric or special-character combination.

6.4 Other permitted anonymous formats

A user may use any username permitted by the applicable DirectDemocracyS username rules, provided that it does not falsely represent another person, a protected role, an official position, an administrative function or another identity.

7. What Users Should Avoid When Anonymity Is Important

A user who wishes to maintain strong anonymity should avoid usernames containing:

• their real name;

• their surname;

• their date of birth;

• their telephone number;

• their email address;

• their exact address;

• an identifiable social-media username;

• an employer-specific identifier;

• a unique professional identifier;

• a combination of information that could easily identify them.

Anonymity also depends on what the user voluntarily publishes.

A perfectly anonymous username can lose much of its protective value if the user publicly publishes enough information to identify themselves.

For this reason, anonymity is a combination of:

1. the architecture of DirectDemocracyS;

2. the username selected by the user;

3. the information voluntarily disclosed by the user;

4. the security of the user's own devices and accounts;

5. compliance with the DirectDemocracyS rules.

8. External Invisibility

DirectDemocracyS seeks to provide strong external invisibility for users who are entitled to anonymous participation.

For an anonymous user, ordinary visitors, external users and ordinary members should see the user's operational username rather than their real identity.

The objective is that a person viewing the public or ordinary internal profile should not be able to derive the user's:

• legal name;

• surname;

• home address;

• telephone number;

• personal email address;

• identity-document information;

• verification information;

• private identity-verification material.

The user's public or ordinary operational identity is therefore separated from their protected identity information.

This is particularly important for people who participate in political, social, professional, scientific, cultural or other activities and who may have legitimate reasons to protect their personal identity.

9. Internal Invisibility

DirectDemocracyS also applies the principle of internal invisibility.

Internal invisibility means that even within DirectDemocracyS, a person's real identity is not automatically available to every administrator, member, specialist, verifier, manager or other user.

Access to personal identity information is restricted according to:

• role;

• purpose;

• necessity;

• authorisation;

• security requirements;

• legal requirements;

• the particular verification activity being performed.

A person performing a compatibility test does not normally need to know the applicant's legal name.

A person performing a skills assessment does not normally need to know the applicant's legal name.

A person performing an identity verification activity receives only the information and codes necessary to perform that activity.

This separation is one of the principal mechanisms through which DirectDemocracyS seeks to protect anonymity.

10. Important Distinction Between Anonymity, Pseudonymity and Legal Identity

DirectDemocracyS uses strong technical and organisational separation between usernames and real identity.

However, the legal concept of anonymisation must be distinguished from pseudonymisation.

Where DirectDemocracyS retains protected information that could, under exceptional authorised circumstances, be used to establish a connection between a username and a real identity, that information remains personal data under applicable data protection law.

Therefore, this Privacy Policy uses the expression “anonymity and invisibility” to describe the protection experienced by ordinary users and unauthorised persons, while recognising that exceptional legally authorised access may exist.

This does not give ordinary users, ordinary administrators or unauthorised third parties a right to access the protected identity information.

11. User Control Over Visibility

DirectDemocracyS follows another fundamental principle:

Users decide what information they voluntarily make visible, to whom, when and in what manner, except where information must be processed privately for legal, security, technical or organisational reasons.

Where the platform provides a visibility option, users may determine, according to the applicable rules and technical possibilities:

• whether information is public;

• whether information is visible only internally;

• whether information is visible to a specific group;

• whether information is visible to specific authorised persons;

• whether information remains private;

• when information becomes visible;

• when information stops being visible;

• whether information is disclosed voluntarily during a specific activity.

The system does not interpret voluntary publication of one item of information as consent to publish all other information about the same person.

For example, publication of a user's username does not mean that the person's real name, telephone number, address or identity document may also be published.

12. Information That Must Remain Private

Some information is processed for technical, legal or security reasons even when it is not publicly visible.

Examples may include:

• registration email address;

• verified telephone number;

• authentication information;

• security logs;

• identity-verification records;

• identity documents;

• identity-verification videos;

• verification codes;

• administrative records;

• payment or accounting information;

• employment records;

• security information;

• incident records.

Such information is not made public merely because it exists within the DirectDemocracyS system.

13. Categories of Personal Data Processed

Depending on the user's relationship with DirectDemocracyS, the system may process different categories of information.

13.1 Account and registration information

This may include:

• username;

• password credentials in appropriately protected form;

• personal email address;

• telephone number;

• country/operator telephone information;

• account status;

• user type;

• registration date;

• account activation information;

• account security information.

A secure, non-temporary personal email address and a unique telephone number are part of the applicable registration and verification procedures.

14. Public Profile Information

A user's profile may contain information voluntarily provided by the user.

Depending on the user's settings and user type, this may include:

• username;

• profile description;

• interests;

• areas of activity;

• voluntary biography;

• languages;

• voluntary professional information;

• voluntary geographical information;

• voluntary photographs;

• voluntary contributions;

• participation information;

• public comments;

• other content intentionally published by the user.

The existence of an account does not automatically mean that all of these categories must be publicly displayed.

15. Compatibility Data

For users requesting higher-level participation or identity verification, DirectDemocracyS may process information necessary to determine compatibility with the system.

This may include:

• compatibility-test results;

• answers to compatibility questions;

• evaluation results;

• decisions of the authorised verification group;

• unique phase codes;

• procedural communications;

• information necessary to repeat or review a compatibility assessment.

The compatibility process is separate from the identity verification process.

The objective is to evaluate compatibility without unnecessarily exposing the applicant's real identity.

16. Skills and Competence Data

Where a user requests a user type or activity requiring demonstrated skills, DirectDemocracyS may process:

• declared skills;

• qualifications;

• professional experience;

• educational information;

• evidence supplied by the user;

• documents voluntarily or necessarily provided;

• specialist assessments;

• verification results;

• skills-verification codes;

• decisions of authorised specialist or verification groups.

A person does not have to possess prestigious qualifications merely to participate in DirectDemocracyS.

However, where a person claims specific professional or specialist competence for an activity requiring verification, DirectDemocracyS may request evidence appropriate to that activity.

17. Identity Verification Data

Identity verification is a special and highly protected category of processing within the DirectDemocracyS architecture.

Depending on the procedure and applicable user type, identity verification may involve:

• real first and last name;

• date of birth where relevant;

• nationality where relevant;

• identity-document information;

• passport information;

• identity-card information;

• another accepted photographic identity document;

• photograph;

• selfie;

• live video;

• verification video recording;

• verification codes;

• verification results;

• information necessary to confirm authenticity;

• information necessary to document the outcome of the verification.

DirectDemocracyS applies the principle of data minimisation.

The system should not retain information that is not necessary for the specific purpose.

18. DirectDemocracyS Identity Verification — Three Main Phases

The current DirectDemocracyS identity verification rules establish a structured process.

The process is divided into:

1. Phase 0 — request and initial information;

2. Phase 1 — compatibility;

3. Phase 2 — skills;

4. Phase 3 — identity verification.

Identity verification is therefore not automatically the first question asked of every participant.

This is an important privacy principle.

A user can participate at lower user levels without mandatory identity verification where the applicable rules permit this.

19. Phase 0 — Request for Identity Verification

When a user requests identity verification, the system requires the information necessary to initiate the process.

The current rules require:

• a unique username;

• a unique personal email address;

• a unique telephone number.

The username remains the user's operational identity.

The fact that the system has a personal email address or telephone number does not mean that these data become visible to ordinary users.

20. Phase 1 — Compatibility Verification

In Phase 1, DirectDemocracyS verifies compatibility with the system.

A unique code is generated.

A corresponding code is provided to an authorised and randomly selected member of an appropriate verification group.

The codes are designed to separate the phases and reduce the possibility of linking information between them without special authorisation.

The compatibility verifier does not ordinarily need to know the applicant's legal identity.

The applicant is operationally identified by their username and the relevant verification code.

The result may be:

• approval;

• rejection;

• postponement;

• reassignment to another authorised group.

The user receives the result through the appropriate communication channel.

21. Phase 2 — Skills Verification

Phase 2 concerns the skills declared by the applicant.

A new unique code is generated for the phase.

An authorised verification group and/or appropriate specialists assess the information and evidence supplied.

The information may include qualifications, documents or other evidence relevant to the claimed competence.

Again, the system uses separation between phases.

The skills verifier does not automatically receive the applicant's complete real identity information merely because the person is undergoing skills verification.

The objective is to verify competence while limiting unnecessary disclosure of personal information.

22. Phase 3 — Identity Verification

Only after the preceding requirements have been completed does the applicant proceed to identity verification.

The system generates another unique identity-verification code.

The applicant receives the code.

The authorised identity-verification member receives the corresponding information necessary to perform the verification.

The verifier does not ordinarily receive the applicant's username or other unnecessary information.

The purpose is to verify the identity document and the person without unnecessarily connecting the person's operational identity to their real-world identity.

23. Identity Verification Video Call

The current DirectDemocracyS procedure uses a live video call for identity verification.

The applicant may be required to:

• demonstrate that they are physically present;

• perform simple live movements;

• show their face;

• present a valid photographic identity document;

• show the identity document separately;

• follow other security instructions necessary to establish that the person present corresponds to the document.

The call is recorded, encrypted and stored in a protected environment.

The video-verification material is not intended for ordinary public access.

24. Separation Between Username and Real Identity During Verification

One of the central privacy principles of DirectDemocracyS is that the person performing identity verification does not normally need to know the applicant's operational username.

This means that the verifier can perform the verification activity without automatically learning:

• the applicant's public username;

• their internal activities;

• their political or social participation;

• their previous activity history;

• their ordinary DirectDemocracyS relationships.

The purpose is to reduce the possibility of unnecessary linking.

After successful verification, the system may mark the operational username as verified or guaranteed without making the real identity publicly visible.

25. Identity Documents and Selfies

When an identity document or identification file is uploaded or presented:

1. it is protected;

2. it is encrypted;

3. it is processed only for the verification purpose;

4. access is restricted;

5. it is not made publicly visible;

6. access is limited to highly authorised circumstances;

7. it may be analysed by authorised technical systems and AI systems where this is part of the implemented verification process;

8. human access is restricted according to the applicable security rules.

Identity documents are among the most sensitive forms of personal information processed by DirectDemocracyS.

They therefore receive a higher level of protection than ordinary profile information.

26. AI-Assisted Identity Verification

Where DirectDemocracyS uses its Artificial Intelligence systems to support identity verification, the AI system is used as part of the security and verification architecture.

AI-assisted processing may include:

• document analysis;

• consistency checking;

• video analysis;

• comparison of relevant information;

• detection of anomalies;

• verification assistance;

• security analysis.

AI processing does not transform protected identity information into public information.

Where applicable, the system must also respect the legal rights relating to automated decision-making.

A user must not be subjected to an unlawful decision producing legal or similarly significant effects solely because an automated system has produced a particular result.

Where human review, reassessment or an additional verification is required by the applicable process, the appropriate human procedure must be followed.

27. Exceptional Access to Identity Information

DirectDemocracyS applies an extremely restrictive approach to access to identity-verification data.

Identity documents, identity-verification files and recorded verification videos are stored in protected environments.

Access may be technically and organisationally restricted to a very small number of highly authorised persons.

Such access must have:

• a legitimate purpose;

• a serious reason;

• appropriate authorisation;

• traceability;

• documentation;

• accountability.
