MEMBERSHIP TERMS AND CONDITIONS
Welcome to All Minus One (AMO)! Please take the time to read and understand these Membership terms and conditions (Membership Terms) before agreeing to become a member. They govern your membership with AMO.
1. Purpose
Becoming a member of AMO is first and foremost a philanthropic endeavour. By signing up you agree with the mission of All Minus One, which is to create a culture of freedom, and above all agree to the unconditional promotion of freedom of speech (Mission).
You also agree to uphold our values of freedom, charity, and culture:
-
Freedom Not Censorship: Encourage people to express themselves freely, even if you disagree with what they have to say.
-
Charity Not Pettiness: Give people the charity of interpretation, rather than assuming the worst possible motivations.
-
Create Culture Not Politics: Focus on creating things that will stand the test of time, and what will be important, inspiring, and beautiful far into the future, not the temporary and short-term spats of the present.
