I’m a big advocate for free speech and as part of that I’m running a campaign to stop banning minors from social media in New Zealand, stop.b416.nz, because forcing KYC on everyone and blocking minors doesn’t protect anyone. But to win this fight we need to present an alternative for how we can make social media healthier. I found the answer in the world of Dr Pamela Wisniewski who’s the leading researcher in the harms of social media to adolescents. What her research shows is the best way to address this is through empowering people to control their own social media experience and not to block, ban, or monitor people. Everybody building or advocating for Nostr should listen to this because she gives us the research and arguments for an open social media ecosystem based on freedom and empowering users. https://fountain.fm/episode/Caze2hCInYxmC6fqN2P6 https://youtu.be/8Zfvyj40GTM?si=TiAu2ovbdOvWnrqw
