  • \\u201cPeople think that censorship works and that it makes communities more safe and that if you hide this information then somehow it\\u2019s going to go away and it\\u2019s going to convince people to not look for that information but actually none of the peer-reviewed studies showed this.\\u201d -\\xa0 Bill Ottman

  • \\u201cIf anything, what we\\u2019re building is more of a sort of, visualization of the debate so that you can see the arguments and citations on both sides of any topics whether it\\u2019s about Covid or abortion, climate change, anything. Don\\u2019t tell the user what to think, just show them the debate.\\u201d - Bill Ottman
  • \\u201cTwitter is not facilitating healthy discourse. And same with the rest of them. They\\u2019re acting like they care about keeping everybody safe and keeping the conversation healthy but it\\u2019s not. It is a sanitized distortion of the global conversation. And that is incredibly damaging to the planet\\u2019s ability to understand what is real and what is not real.\\u201d - Bill Ottman
  • Censorship only moves the problem, it doesn\\u2019t remove the problem.\\u201d - Dr. Steve Turley
  • \\u201cI think we\\u2019re moving into a world where it was like \\u2018network first creators last\\u2019 and now it\\u2019s \\u2018creators first network last\\u2019.\\u201d Bill Ottman
