occlude(nt) means hidden

• occlude(nt) is a small Internet service company dedicated to furthering the small web, as online spaces should be for the people, by the people.


• The web was not designed for singular, centralized websites to dominate our time spent online. In this process to develop a wired singularity, we lost the very thing that made the Internet special. We hope to change this.


• By offering multiple private and secure services for the normal netizens, we hope to counteract the irreparable damage that the monopolies have caused.

"Privacy is necessary for an open society in the electronic age. Privacy is not secrecy. A private matter is something one doesn't want the whole world to know, but a secret matter is something one doesn't want anybody to know. Privacy is the power to selectively reveal oneself to the world."

~ A Cypherpunk's Manifesto, Eric Hughes
