"Is a world where there are almost as many mobile phones as people, more than half the globe can access digital TV signals, and almost 3 billion people are online a better place for journalism?

We believe that the fate of humanity will be decided at the frontier of technological innovation. We will either see technology lead to a more free, open, and fair society or reinforce a global regime of centralized control, surveillance, and oppression. Our fear is that without a global, conscious, and concerted effort, the outlook is incredibly bleak. The Internet has opened the doors for universal, cross-border, and non-violent collaborative effort to fight for our freedom. However, the Internet has also opened the doors for global surveillance and manipulation. We believe humankind should use technology as a liberating tool to unleash all the goodwill and creativity of our species, rather than as a tool to enslave and take advantage of one another. Thus, Aragon is a fight for freedom. Aragon empowers freedom by creating liberating tools that leverage decentralized technologies.

« [...] Nous n'avons pas de gouvernement élu et nous ne sommes pas près d'en avoir un, aussi je m'adresse à vous avec la seule autorité que donne la liberté elle-même lorsqu'elle s'exprime. Je déclare que l'espace social global que nous construisons est indépendant, par nature, de la tyrannie que vous cherchez à nous imposer. Vous n'avez pas le droit moral de nous donner des ordres et vous ne disposez d'aucun moyen de contrainte que nous ayons de vraies raisons de craindre. [...] »
