Episode 91: Overcoming the Problems of Today's Social Media -- with Brian Amerige
Alex brings on Brian Amerige, with whom he cofounded Thoughtful, to discuss the problems of social media today and how to overcome them. They discuss: - Is there any role for government in the content policies of social media platforms? - What content policy would make Facebook or Twitter a better "marketplace of ideas"--or is that even possible given the purpose of these platforms? - What it takes to create a real alternative to mainstream platforms, and where Parler and Gab have struggled. - The purpose and evolution of Thoughtful, Brian and Alex's platform that is "the one place on the Internet that's exclusively for thoughtful content." - How to get on the waiting list for Thoughtful.
