Ethical Social Media

AGA Sharks is built to be ethical by default: no ads, no tracking, no data selling, and no engagement algorithm. Free to join, human-moderated under published rules, and owned by Alpha Intelligence.

The checklist

  • No ads — no banners, no video ads, no sponsored posts. See the ad-free page.
  • No tracking — no ad trackers, no data harvested to serve ads.
  • No data selling — your data is never sold, and there is no advertising business to sell it to.
  • No engagement algorithm — the feed ranks on community votes, not on what keeps you scrolling. See the no-algorithm page.
  • Human moderation — published Community Guidelines and Content Policy; bullying means an instant permanent ban.
  • Free — joining, posting, voting, and messaging cost nothing.

How it compares

Other ethical options exist — MeWe, Bluesky, and Mastodon each do some of this well, and they deserve a look. What AGA Sharks adds is the Reddit-style format done ad-free: communities called tanks, votes that rank the feed, 60-second Shark Shorts, and a daily Top Sharks leaderboard, with a separate kid-safe campus for ages 13–18.

What makes a social network ethical?

Four things: no ads, no tracking, no data selling, and no engagement algorithm — plus human moderation under published rules, and a price of free. AGA Sharks does all four.

How does AGA Sharks make money without ads?

It does not sell your attention. AGA Sharks is owned by Alpha Intelligence, Benjamin Ocal's AI company. There are no paid tiers, no sponsored posts, and no data selling — the product is the community itself.

Do you sell my data?

No. AGA Sharks does not sell user data, and there is no advertising business to sell it to.

Who moderates the site?

Humans, under published Community Guidelines and a Content Policy. Bullying means an instant permanent ban with full content removal, and doxxing is blocked.

Is it free?

Yes — creating an account, posting, voting, commenting, watching Shorts, and messaging are all free. Students 13–18 have their own kid-safe campus at students.agasharks.com.
