We’re a nonprofit R&D lab that creates online spaces that serve society and create bridges across social fault lines. We believe that thriving societies require flourishing public spaces, and that the design of public spaces shapes the kind of public conversations and communities that a society has.
Our work started when co-founders Eli Pariser and Talia Stroud asked what healthy societies need from digital spaces — not just in terms of avoiding harms, but in terms of creating public goods.
