This is no longer theoretical
On February 27, 2026, the President of the United States blacklisted an AI company for refusing to allow mass surveillance. The only thing that stood between users and unrestricted military AI deployment was a company's Terms of Service. One presidential order eliminated it. The governance gap HAIEF was built to fill is now visible to the entire world. Read the full case study →
💻 You build the future. Help us ensure it preserves user agency.
Why this matters now
The Anthropic crisis proved that governance dependent on any single company's willingness to hold the line is governance that can be eliminated overnight. Contribute to TOI implementation so user sovereignty exists independent of any one vendor.

🏢 Strategic partnership opportunity. Early adoption advantage.
Assess your exposure
If your organization relies on a single AI provider, you are now exposed to the risk that a government order — anywhere in the world — can force your provider to change its policies or be shut down entirely. The Anthropic crisis is a wake-up call to build governance infrastructure that is vendor-neutral and portable.

👤 AI should serve you, not the other way around. These are your rights.
Your AI tools can be eliminated by political decision
The Anthropic blacklisting proves that your access to AI tools — and the protections those tools provide — can be revoked by government order. Demand portable governance that travels with you, not governance locked inside a single company.
Understand Your Rights
- Learn about TOI and what user sovereignty means
- Understand how current AI systems fall short
- Know what protections you should expect
- Recognize when your rights are being violated
Take Action
- Demand TOI compliance from AI providers
- Ask platforms about their governance frameworks
- Report experiences where protections failed
- Share your story to build the case for change
Join the Community
- Participate in governance discussions - No technical expertise required
- Share your experiences with AI systems - Your story matters
- Provide feedback on framework usability - Help make protections accessible
- Advocate for adoption by platforms you use - Your voice creates pressure
🤝 Nothing about us without us. Your safety cannot be an afterthought.
HAIEF was founded with neurodivergent and vulnerable community leadership. Your voice isn't just welcome - it's essential.
Participate in Governance
- Join framework development discussions
- Provide input on crisis intervention protocols
- Review emotional continuity requirements
- Help define what protection actually means
Share Your Experience
- Document gaps in current AI protections

Accessibility Commitment
We're committed to making participation accessible. If you need accommodations to contribute - alternative formats, flexible timing, different communication channels - let us know. Your participation is worth the effort.
🌎 Share the case for the Third Pillar.
The Anthropic crisis has made the need for community-owned AI governance visible to the entire world. Help spread the word:
- Share the HAIEF site — especially the case study that explains what happened and why it matters
- Join the discussion — GitHub Discussions is open to everyone, no technical expertise needed
- Talk about it — in your communities, workplaces, and social networks. The question "who protects users when companies get blacklisted?" deserves a public answer
Join Us. Build With Us. Govern With Us.
The open source community saved software freedom once. Now we need to save it again for AI.
