What is Damocles?
Our Mission
Damocles is a community-driven platform dedicated to transparency and accountability in governance and law enforcement. Like the mythical sword hanging by a thread, we serve as a constant reminder that power must be wielded responsibly.
We believe in the power of collective observation and documentation to create a more just society. By providing tools for communities to track and share information about events that matter, we aim to foster transparency, encourage accountability, and empower citizens to be active participants in their democracy.
Key Features
- Real-time tracking and documentation of significant events
- Community-sourced information with verification systems
- Geographic mapping and timeline visualization
- Secure, privacy-focused submission system
- Open data access for journalists and researchers
How It Works
Community members submit verified information about events, which are then mapped and timestamped to create a comprehensive, searchable record. We also continuously scrape data feeds from across the web to gather real-time information. Our platform employs computer vision technology to detect and track faces, vehicles, and license plates, enabling powerful correlation and identification across multiple events. These advanced verification and analysis techniques ensure accuracy while protecting the privacy and safety of contributors.
What We Need
To build a comprehensive and reliable platform, we need dedicated community members to fill several crucial roles:
- Content Submitters - Help document events in your community by submitting photos, videos, and firsthand accounts
- Content Moderators - Review submissions for accuracy, relevance, and adherence to community guidelines
- Data Analysts - Help clean, organize, and verify data to ensure the highest quality information in our database
Each role is vital to maintaining the integrity and effectiveness of our platform. Together, we can build a powerful tool for transparency and accountability.
