It is declared that freedom of speech exists in the modern society. Unfortunately, quite often the freedom of expression is limited by the government. The idea of decentralized news and media excites the journalism industry. The core principle of Apres is to create a network, that will eliminate the lack of transparency and the limitation on freedom of speech.
The network will give users an opportunity to report on occasions, that they consider to be important and to communicate them to the public. Both reader and publisher will interact on the platform. Journalists from any place in the world will access Apres. They will be able to publish news and reports regardless of the geographical blockades or limitation on a respective nation freedom of speech.
Key features of Apres
The core idea of the system is to create a completely decentralized press platform, that will offer equal opportunities to all users. Ideas of people will no longer be ignored. Individuals from all over the world will be able to speak openly against inequality, corruption, crimes and others.
1. Private and secure
Users of the network will have an opportunity to add the information on the platform, by posting or commenting reports. Due to the fact that the downloaded information file is encrypted, it is impossible to trace the files origin. Thus, no one will be able to change once added data.
2. Posted news can’t be changed or manipulated
The downloaded information file can’t be modified by intermediaries, and remains online until it reaches an expiration point.
3. The network can’t be deleted or shut down
Although the network is not managed by the central server system, it exists on the user’s device and operates as a smaller version of the whole network. Thus, if a single user is online, the whole system is online.
4. Offline operation
Only limited number of people can operate the system offline. Individuals, who download the information files, are referred as seeders. These files will be then encrypted for anonymity.
5. There is no central control power on Apres
Due to the fact, that the system is a decentralized one, there are no people or organizations, that are allowed to violate human rights to freedom of speech on the platform.
Operating principles of the platform
Although Apres is a decentralized system and any user can post news and articles on the platform, it is of crucial importance to check the legitimation of posted information. Apres will offer those members of the system community, who represent journalism industry, to operate as verificators. For this purpose, verified journalists will have to submit their resumes. When the process of verification is over, news and articles will be shared on the platform.
The rating scale for publishers and professional journalists will be available on the platform. The system will be in charge only for verification of the journalists, the rest will be up to the public. Rating will be based on the number of views, comments and recommendations made by users in regard to published news. All members of the community are obliged to follow principles and ethics associated with journalism.
Token Sale Plan
Apres tokens were issued on the platform to reward individuals, who contribute their knowledge and skills to the network development.
In conclusion it should be mentioned, that the idea of freedom of speech, promoted by Apres, is of crucial importance today. This right should not be violated regardless of the nationality, sex, age, etc. Moreover, the project is known as an anonymous press. Due to the fact, that Apres founders have already been occupied in the field of anonymous journalism, it allows us to take a positive view at the project perspectives.
