How Sex Saves Free Speech & Stops Social Media Wars From Becoming Real Ones

What if I told you Twitter was sitting on something BIG? Get your mind out of the gutter! Buried deep inside Twitter is a simple, sexy fix for our social media woes - hate speech, cancel culture, rage mobs, demonetization and silencing of free speech. The same fix would work for Facebook, YouTube, and other social media services. There's just one problem. Like a Japanese horror flick, the social media monster jumped off our iPhone screens and into the real world. And it wants our silence. In this episode: How we tame the social media monster. The definitive case for online free speech - and why even hate speech is our last defense against the slippery slope that's already here. This is only the beginning! In the next episode, 'Why Rage Rules' , I'll explore the real game being played - and who benefits from our infighting. And it's wild!
