Who We Are
Hi I’m Josh, founder of Timio News LLC.
Growing up in the digital era, I couldn’t help but notice the deterioration of journalism. America is more divided than ever. I feel like I’m watching my country fall apart.
With the rise of AI, it’s only getting worse. Today, anyone can make images and recordings of world leaders–and text-to-video is right around the corner. Social media bots can have entire personalities! Some say we’re entering a Post-Truth era.
This is why I founded TIMIO.
Everyone on the app gets the same feed—no algorithms. You’ll find content from America’s top publishers, even those you disagree with.
Our AI finds logical fallacies in articles. We’ve also built a model that looks for content with different viewpoints from an article.
Who We Aren't
It’s not our place to tell you what to think. TIMIO instead aims to portray each side of the story for you to judge. Likewise, we encourage you to research and even challenge insights by our AI.
We level the playing field, so you can decide.
The Future
All revenue is currently being put back into TIMIO’s development.
With more funding we can improve our AI, reduce load times, expand coverage, and add more features. TIMIO currently focuses on America, however we’d love to bring TIMIO international.
Censorship vs moderation...
Many argue that heavily moderating digital platforms is a form of censorship. It gives a a handful of people power over everything we read and can silence unpopular speech.
But others argue platforms have a responsibility to remove false information. If they don’t, they’ll promote rumors and falsehoods with real world consequences. Various platforms have tried both methodologies, with limited success. We’re trying to do the best of both.
TIMIO will never censor articles.
We will leave all articles on the platform, however we’ll still point out misinformation when we see it. You’ll always be able to read controversial stories yourself to form your own opinion.
