Summary from last week's live on Dec 2nd 2022:
- Aim: Move civilization towards truth and transparency. Make twitter competitive and lead to competitors fighting for who will manage with most accountability, as a value of the service offered.
- Defeat bots and agencies, exposing the agencies which steer public discourse.
- Focus on making twitter healthy and setting high traction on engineering and delivery of new features.
- Thanks made to Elon for stopping child pornography on twitter in only 30 days vs many years problem under the last lead.
- Mainstream media not giving props to Elon about the Twitter files, exposing the higher-ups of the original twitter team and how they managed the Hunter Biden laptop story and covered it up. Gaslighting Matt Taibbi.
- Questions about what will come in episode 2 of the Twitter Files. What other hidden files can be looked at? 6Gen, Covid.
- Plan to limit followers? Appears to be a double-standard.
- Advertisers stopped advertising on twitter, Apple resumes and others too when realizing that there was no problem with how Musk was managing Twitter. Ad expenditures drop, need alternative sources of revenue. Advertisers were scared by certain lobbyists, then returned after realizing that values are aligned & waters are safe. Advertisers can tailor ads to non-ad content that they are comfortable associating with.
- Make Twitter more fun and welcoming, suited to various tastes & free of bots.
- Make it easier to transact with crypto.
- Label Mainstream Media state media. If biased, it should be clear.
- Calibrate user experience.
- Let ppl know when government is targeting people. Post should show what the events around it are (government asks to remove, etc.)
