Description

"many people are currently discussing putting the ideal concept of a True and Continuous Democracy into practice, where citizens directly discuss topics while directly expressing their votes, as in the Athenian Polis, but on a much larger scale. This may have seemed impractical until now to most people, but could today become a feasible alternative, thanks to the growing diffusion of modern communication tools such as the Internet and mobile phone and data infrastructures.

Telematics Freedom Foundation, thanks to the experience of its staff and their collaborators, has designed and developed a series of software tools, methodologies and telematics infrastructures focused on security, reliability and stability to support people willing to start experiencing the potential of a Continuous Democracy, in the expectation of spreading the adoption of these methods on a larger scale in the near future in order to ultimately achieve a democracy based on everybody's participation, in the overall public interest."
