About Us.
We believe the fate of humanity is hanging in the balance of technological innovation and human intentionality.
Origin
Founded in 2022 by internet entrepreneur Ray Gill, DataHive was born out of the emergent societal and data ownership as a human right crisis.
Vision
The fate of humanity is hanging in the balance of technological innovation and human intentionality.
We believe technology can lead to a more free, open, and fair society, however, without intentional efforts to establish this kind of world, past patterns of using advancements for centralized control, surveillance, and oppression are almost a guarantee.
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.
Human innovation is more than impressive, especially in this era. We believe these advancements can and should be used to create societal structures that work for everyone.
