The biggest problem is the unbalanced power dynamic where the networks control everything about you and your identity, says Minds. There's no way to wipe the data because it gets super weird at a certain point when they have all this historical data that they share with intelligence agencies. "I just feel like there needs to be a level playing field so that people can actually know what they're dealing with," he adds.
Bill Ottman is the creator of Minds, a social media platform with more than 6 million users. Bill has appeared on the Joe Rogan Experience. In this conversation, we spoke about the importance of free speech, Elon buying Twitter his thoughts on Lex Fridman and Kanye West, Elon buying Twitter, the importance of challenges/accountability, his time on JRE, and much more.
