just looking across the social media landscape, what do
you make of? It may not happen, but
somebody like Elon musk trying to take over twitter and
grapple with the free speech issue. He's also talked
about reinstating for instance, donald trump's account. What
do you make of that? And what he said
so far about free speech, there's some who have
expressed concerns about him as a person having this power
, you know, I think it's so hard to
read Helen's actions because he does so many, he
had this at one point and at the same time
he is able to land rockets on the moon,
upright, land them up and down all those things
. So he must be good at asking hard questions
and accepting hard answers because if you're in denial on
the level of Mark Zuckerberg, there's no way you're
going to the moon. But he also does all
these wacky things on the internet. And so this
question of which is the really Ellen right? And
so part of the reason why I'm cautiously optimistic,
I don't know is I think once he gets inside
the company and you can see all the data and
you can talk to the people and get a more
robust picture, I would hope that he would,
you know, there's a lot of the things that
I'm recommending are around looking at behavior over content because
um when we look at things like saying, you
know, should you have to click a link to
re share it. How long should you have to
have that link open Clicking on a link before you
? Re sure it reduces misinformation by 10 or 15%
. These are interventions that work in every language in
the world and so I'm I'm I'm cautiously optimistic based
on who his advisers are, that there would be
an opportunity to do many of these things, and
part of why they haven't been done to date is
they cut off little slices of profit. And so
I think there's opportunities to explore solutions that weren't possible
, whereas a public company. But you know,
well, time will tell.
