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.
