About Us

Welcome to Modern-day Slave
A Movement for Digital Liberation

  • We are more than just a website.
  • We are not merely a test.
  • We are more than just a book.

Modern-day Slave is an NGO founded on a stark truth: in today’s hyper-connected world, the greatest form of enslavement disguises itself as freedom. We call it SMUB, Social Media’s Universal Bondage; a contemporary epidemic where constant connection replaces mindful living.

Our Aim

Our aim is to awaken, equip, and empower individuals to free themselves from digital dependence and regain their attention, agency, and authenticity.

The Reason We Exist

Unlike older addictions, SMUB receives recognition from society. It’s labelled as productive, engaged, and informed. But in truth, it is addictive, all-consuming, and corrosive.

We exist to challenge that narrative — not through judgment, but through education, reflection, and real-world tools that foster awareness and transformation.

Our Strategy to Break the Chains

At the core of our platform is the Anti-SMUB Test — an AI-driven self-assessment tool that helps individuals assess their digital habits, identify hidden dependencies, and start their journey towards digital autonomy.
