Fund things directly when possible. Do not make behavioral tracking the price of reading a page.
THE MANIFESTO
Something went missing when the web became a feed.
We traded homepages for platforms, curiosity for ranking systems, and conversations for engagement metrics. Advertising stopped being a little banner in the corner and became surveillance infrastructure. Pages got heavier. Interfaces became traps. Search became a battlefield for attention. And now synthetic content can fill a screen faster than a person can decide whether they have anything worth saying.
MIGA is a simple idea: the internet should feel human again.
WE WANT SMALL SITES.
REAL NAMES.
WEIRD IDEAS.
USEFUL TOOLS.
OPEN SOURCE.
CLEAR AUTHORSHIP.
LESS NOISE.
MORE PEOPLE.
This is not a campaign to freeze the web in 2003. The old internet had plenty of problems. But it also had things worth carrying forward: independent websites, hand-built pages, links made because somebody actually liked another site, forums with memory, personal writing, RSS, source code you could inspect, pages that loaded quickly, and communities you chose instead of feeds chosen for you.
Technology should help people communicate, build, learn and create. It should not require turning every human action into inventory for advertisers. And if AI is used, it should be a tool with clear disclosure—not a machine for impersonating people, flooding communities or manufacturing fake consensus.
WHAT WE STAND FOR
Credit authors. Keep bylines. Let people sound like people. Do not sand every voice into platform-approved copy.
Use tools when they genuinely help, but disclose generated material and keep humans accountable for what gets published.
Personal sites, independent communities, self-hosting and portable data make the web harder to reduce to a handful of platforms.
Fast HTML, accessible text, useful links and fewer dependencies are good design—not a lack of design.
The web is strongest when one site can point to another without permission from an algorithm or app store.
THE IDEA ALREADY EXISTS IN PRACTICE
Security Ops® maintains and hosts projects that reflect pieces of this philosophy: independent infrastructure, privacy-conscious frontends, inspectable source code, self-hosting, and tools that do something useful without turning the user into the product.
Security Search
A web search interface
operated by Security Ops.
Invidious · SecurityOps
An alternative YouTube frontend
with no account required
on the public instance.
Security Ops OS
A GNU Guix system
and live-image project focused on
reproducible, inspectable systems.
Esquema
A daemon-free container runtime

MusicMagic
A browser music studio
for arrangements,
instruments,
sampling and a DJ room.
Keywave
A project for temporary rooms
with chat,
calls,
drawing and sharing.
Project descriptions are intentionally narrow: they describe what the public Security Ops directory currently documents, not guarantees about uptime, anonymity or every feature.
JOIN THE MOVEMENT!
You do not need permission, a membership card or a platform account.
- Build or revive a personal website.
- Publish something because it matters to you—not because an algorithm asked for content.
- Remove trackers you do not actually need.
- Keep advertisements out when you can. If money changes hands, make the relationship obvious.
- Label AI-generated text, images, audio and video instead of passing them off as human work.
- Link to independent sites. Use RSS. Keep a blogroll. Share source code.
- Make pages readable without a login, an app install or a megabyte of JavaScript whenever practical.
- Disagree like a human. Do not automate harassment, consensus or applause.
- Put your name—or your chosen pseudonym—behind the things you actually mean.
THE MOVEMENT IS THE ACT
OF BUILDING THE WEB
YOU WANT TO USE.
SPREAD THE WORD
Old-web rule: if you like something, link to it. Put one of these badges on your site. They use plain HTML and inline CSS— no JavaScript, no tracker, no remote image.

88×31 CLASSIC BADGE
WIDE HUMAN WEB BADGE
NOT A PURITY TEST
MIGA is not about pretending technology can be uninvented. It is about choosing what serves people. A giant platform can make a humane decision. A tiny website can make a terrible one. Open source can be badly run. AI can be useful. Human-made content can be wrong. The point is accountability, disclosure, autonomy and room for people to remain visible inside the systems they use.
