ABOUT Project XIII:
“Project 13 was originally created to facilitate data exchanges between groups of people who had reasons to know each other in the real world. It was the brain child of a software dev who was looking to create a solution that didn’t sell your information or advertise to you. The VEXS protocol, based loosely off of Isaac Asimov’s I Robot, was born out of a desire to see software fall under the hands of the people it was written to serve; not create a creature that runs amok of social norms.
We hope that you’ll participate in this experience. Join forces with a team of people who believe that thus far the role of software in society has been misused – who want to see software used in it’s proper place. Help us in correcting that balance…”
DATA POLICY:
“We at Project XIII have no interest in your data.
We have not built any back doors into the system that allow us to see what’s going on.
We refuse to do so.Your data will be safe with us.
We have no idea what you are talking about and will strive to make every effort to do so.”

Governments’ claims and their legal statutes may become a issue as they want the ability to spy on everyone:

Secrets safe: Pirate Bay co-founder plans surveillance-free messaging app
Published time: July 10, 2013 08:46
The co-founder and former spokesperson of the file-sharing site Pirate Bay Peter Sunde is working on a new iPhone and Android messaging application that will allow the users to protect their conversations from spying.
The application called Hemlis – ‘secret’ in Swedish – utilizes end-to-end encryption to make sure that only the two people in a conversation will have access to its data.
“All communication on today’s networks is being monitored by government agencies and private companies. The politicians are not going to stop it, they’re actually asking for more,” Sunde said in a video about the app. “That’s why we decided to build a messaging platform where no one can spy on you, not even us.”
Indeed, not even Sunde and the team developing the app will see the text messages’ contents, unlike traditional applications that leave the trails of the data – something, which allows the corporations to access it.
No advertisements are set to appear in the application.
“Normally security results in a complex and unfriendly user experience. It should not be that way. Hemlis is a messenger for everyone, so we are dedicated to creating the most user friendly messenger ever,” the description of the app reads.
RT spoke to Sunde about Hemlis’ technical side and the implications of its existence.
“We know how to encrypt the traffic and which countries we can have service in and in which countries we can allow traffic to pass. So we are building a network on top of their own internet to pass the messages along encrypted. So it’s both a technology but it’s also aware of the global legal framework for privacy,” Sunde said.
Although many have tried to link encrypted communication to terrorism, Sunde says the possibility of terrorists using Hemlis is not a valid argument in this case.
“We are talking here about normal people who do not have access to that technology yet. So terrorists are definitely not going to be on our system – they are already on their own systems; they wouldn’t trust us… so I think the only people we are helping are the [ordinary citizens] whom the government is surveilling.”
There is currently a crowd-funding campaign for the application, with the users willing to participate paying in cash or Bitcoin.
At $5, extra features in the app are unlocked, while after spending $10 or more the user gets to pre-register usernames. A donation of $500 allows to be mentioned as a fundraiser in the application, plus hundreds of unlock codes.
The fundraising campaign is in its early stage, though, so there is no official release date planned for the application.
The development of the app follows the NSA leak scandal, and Sunde’s target group are those who are also concerned about the level of government surveillance and data capture.
Sunde is one of the three founders of The Pirate Bay, although he stepped down as the website’s spokesman in 2009. When he announced his departure from The Pirate Bay, he pointed out he was interested in moving on to new projects.
The Pirate Bay (commonly abbreviated TPB) is a website that provides torrent files and magnet links for file sharing using the BitTorrent protocol. The site was founded in Sweden in 2003, and has faced multiple legal threats since its creation.
