Ethics
hypios is a marketplace where problems are solved. We've designed the platform to be useful for solving all types of problems. We review every problem submitted to hypios to verify that it is in accordance with US federal law.
Certain problems, though perfectly legal, may not adhere to some users' personal moral codes. After careful consideration, hypios has decided to allow any problem within legal bounds to be posed and solved on hypios. The logic behind this decision is as follows.
hypios is not a legislator
No company should be a substitute for a democratically elected legislative body nor attempt to dictate what is or is not appropriate in a free market.
hypios is neutral
Given that it's impossible to come to an agreement as to what's moral and what's not, hypios has decided to accept all problems (again, provided that they are legal). Neutrality is the only way to preserve Solvers' liberty.
hypios is optional
If you encounter a problem on hypios contrary to your principles, you can mark your disapproval by refusing to contribute to its solution.
hypios is a platform reserved for responsible adults. Diversity of opinions is a valuable resource that we must work to preserve, to the extent that those opinions are in accord with the laws of our society. This is our current stance, but we'd like to continue the conversation. Please email your thoughts, questions and concerns to ethics@hypios.com
