Polite and The Slow Web Initiative are Tariq Krim's brainchild, a European Tech entrepreneur (Netvibes, Jolicloud), a vocal advocate for a more human and Privacy centered Internet.
We have combined the Polite platform with the Slow Web Initiative; a think tank focused on the Internet's ethical future.
Rehabilitate neutral and platform-agnostic tools for our digital lives.
In 2008, while most people were celebrating the rise of mobile and Cloud monopolies, we were concerned that a handful of platforms could privatize the Internet we loved.
It's the reason why we launched the JoliOS, and the Jolibook to offer a platform-neutral device alternative to connect to our life online.
Our ideas were ahead of their time: we were the first consumer platform to offer a web-based computer (two years before the Google Chromebook) and one of the first companies to put privacy and ownership of your data at the center.
After a long disconnection, we decided to launch Polite and the Slow Web Initiative to help build the next chapter of the digital revolution: an ethical renaissance of the Internet.
