About STURM

STURM is an open, collaborative wiki against censorship, for digital sovereignty, and against control by corporations and states. Community-run; initiated by a person who goes by "Mastermind".

The full mission statement — what we want, what we are not, why now — lives on its own page: Mission. There also our technology philosophy: static, tracker-free, public repository.

Why this wiki exists

Censorship today rarely works with censors. It works with terms of service, algorithmic feeds, platform bans, SLAPP suits, double-titled laws, and the fear that spreads when examples leak through. This wiki documents these examples — with sources. Not to shock, but to be a tool: for debates, research, and your own decisions about whom to trust.

Principles

1. Evidence over claims. Every factual statement carries a source. No source, no sentence.
2. Debunk all lies — including our own. Every dossier has a “Debunking” section correcting oversimplifications, including those convenient to our own position.
3. No electioneering. Cases from all political directions; documented censorship from left, right, state, private.
4. Anonymous initiation. The initiator goes by “Mastermind” — no name, no link, no organisation. The wiki should be judged on its arguments and evidence, not on its founder.
