Argue ideas, not people
Critique policies, companies, and frameworks. Do not target individuals.
No incitement

Use civic tone

Civic Clarity Notice
Honne and Tatemae is an independent civic education and public-record platform. The site exists to help people understand artificial intelligence, document public concern, and prepare their own communications to elected officials and public institutions.
You remain in control of every message you choose to send. Letters, summaries, scripts, and civic tools on this site are provided to help citizens express their own views clearly and responsibly.
Our editorial and civic materials are created for public education, civic participation, and democratic accountability. Where AI-assisted tools are used to support drafting, organization, classification, or moderation, they are used as workflow support, not as a substitute for human judgment, editorial responsibility, or civic intent.
Do not submit confidential, classified, privileged, private, or personally identifying information. Public submissions may be moderated to protect the integrity, safety, and seriousness of the record.
The purpose of this platform is simple: to help citizens think clearly, speak honestly, and act before the future is decided without them.
