''Main page: [[Policing DAOs]]''

Every tool ever invented to advance humanity has also been used in malign ways. It is inevitable that DAOs will be formed to commit crime. The DGF project is devoted to creating the tools which give people the freedom to create DAOs in any manner they choose, for any purpose. Given that freedom, it is inevitable that [[DAO Governance Framework|DGF]] will be used in ways that harm humanity. By decentralizing power in society, it will inevitably accumulate in the hands of those with evil intent. So why participate in the creation of something that can be used for evil purposes? 

By spreading power more equitably, the creation of DAOs is intended to make all people more powerful. Bad as well as good intentions will be empowered. Assuming there were more bad intentions, we would not experience stability in our collaborations. Assuming there are more good intentions, empowering people to connect and collaborate to express their intentions will be a net positive. The empowerment of evil collaboration will be overwhelmed by the empowerment of good collaboration. The enabling of criminal markets with DAO tools will be countered by the enabling of DAOs devoted to policing those markets.

The DGF project is devoted to taking responsibility for the malign uses that its tools enable in the following manner. We are committed to developing Policing DAOs to leverage information at the edge to counter and disincentivize any malign uses of DGF technology, intentional or not. We believe the collaboration tools we develop will be capable of preventing more social ills in sum than it creates.

==== Example ====
For instance, a Sexual Trafficking Policing DAO can offer rewards for information that leads to the successful prosecution of any sexual trafficking crimes. The pseudonymity of a [[DAO#Primary DAOs|primary DAO]] enables the reporting of evidence of crime with less chance of discovery and recrimination. The transparency of a primary DAO proves the protocols for reward distribution are valid, and that the history of reporter security is valid. This creates greater motivation to participate in reporting crimes than legacy institutions of policing can provide. The transparency of a primary DAO structure prevents much of the current corruption that plagues legacy policing. The global openness of primary DAOs allows supranational participation, which eliminates much of the international bureaucratic obstacles to justice.
