Hosts You Can Trust!
Trust, integrity, intent, openness, transparency are all core fundamental principles that become the foundation of all lasting relationships. It starts at home with ourselves, between individuals, family, friends, groups, communities, corporations and governments. It must flow in all directions otherwise no relationship will last.
We live in a digital age where our information is more valuable than oil and gold. AI & behavioral psychologists use it so that advertisers, businesses and corporate entities use it to sell product & services to drive profit margins. Lobbyists, governments and unelected globalists use it to sell ideologies to control and socially engineer the minds, groups, societies and nations with greater effect than their ancestors could have ever dreamed of.
The bigger things become and more control over our private and public lives the less they are being trusted by the people simply because actions have forever spoken louder than words. There's less trust in Big Banks, Big Corporations, Big Government, Big Media, Big Oil, Big Pharma, Big Tech and so on.
Nothing is free or private in this world as those so called "free" services all come at a price. It costs billions to run these huge server farms offering you infinite amount of storage space until you die. Yet they are littered with AI bots, farming, selling and censoring information whilst monitoring, recording and analyzing your every move for profit, manipulation and control over our minds, choices and behaviors. When you consider the world has always been this way throughout history, the only difference today is that modern technology offers far more advanced and effective tools in accomplishing this.
Say NO! to ads, AI algorithms, back doors, backhanders, bots, censorship and government hotlines!!
That's A Big Tech Thing! - Not Us Guaranteed!!!

100% Self-Funded
Locale will never sell advertising space or sell or share your data for any reason or price and thus our only source of funding is through our membeship plans and services we provide.
We're dedicated to keeping our prices as low as possible along with supporting our members and their communities. Membership is free but limited and can be increased at any point by upgrading your membership to one of our pre-pay plans. The more revenue we can raise the more we can offer to our members right across the board.
As our members grows, so will our time, energy and expense managing our services, upgrading the network/server infrastructure and developing new services our members would like to see and utilize. We've already made huge personal & financial sacrifices to develop Locale to get it where it is today with the sole purpose of offering an alternative from the big tech monopolies that either serve their own interests or outrageous profit margins.
