Sealbreakers

If you have concerns that the TAO Seal is being used inappropriately, please contact us.

How will use of the TAO Seal be overseen?

The goal is to encourage the public to provide oversight and determine if TAO seal users are living up to the pledge. There will be no official oversight group, licensing body or regulatory association. The hope is that engaged citizens will offer feedback online. As John Hamer told CJR: "We want to crowdsource ethics." However, this website has a "Sealbreakers" page for reports of violations. Repeated violations could lead to a review or hearing by a peer review group made up of other TAO pledgers, who would determine if permission to use the seal should be revoked.
