They say 'Don't be evil, except for the times you have to be.' It's a crazy, crazy statement where these companies say, well, we're trying to be moral. It makes it hard to take the ethical aspect one hundred percent seriously.ĬH: It's almost become like an ethical tautology in a certain respect. But the alignment of these marginal ethical arguments with obvious corporate profit interests as being advanced by explicit collusion among these big players. I mean, it rings very hollow, right? And I mean, there's no doubt some people in those companies really are thinking that way. The idea that these big tech companies are acting out of a moral necessity to save everyone's lives. So then why is it so unethical for there to be Qanon garbage on Parler as some of the content, right? It feels like a standard oil controlling the shipping prices of oil back in the 19th century.īG: The appeal to ethics seems so disingenuous, right? It's like you can search Qanon on garbage on Google just fine. You have to host servers in Afghanistan or something to escape it. And if you're put in a market position where 100% of the mobile market and most of the web market is basically blacklisting you and you have no way to be on a cell phone for an average consumer, no way to have a website for an average consumer without going to extraordinary lengths and it's almost like the pirate bay. So Amazon took them down, Apple took them down, Google took them down. But then what occurred was that all of Silicon Valley got together and they colluded and they basically jointly decided to completely de-platform Parler. And they had different moderation standards. So the whole argument was, well, if you don't like Twitter, go compete with it, build your own social network. The issue was the de-platforming of Parler, because that was a very different animal. At some point you have to throw the guy out.

I said, yeah, okay the guy violated the end user license agreement probably 9 million times. They can do whatever they want." But the issue is collusion and so the watershed moment for me wasn't the de-platforming of Trump. So when someone gets de-platformed, we say, "Hey, it's a private company. So, I'm a big libertarian and the libertarian guys say, "Hey, let the market decide. So, yeah, maybe it is cool to start out just by hearing your overview of the topic.Ĭharles Hoskinson: Yeah, it's an interesting situation. But now things seem to be coming to a head and the world seems to suddenly be concerned that a few large corporations are programming everyone's brains in bizarre ways. And I thought it'll be amazing to have an on air discussion on the topic that's been in so many people's minds recently, which is the perhaps of critical importance of decentralization for social media and social networks, because this is something we both been thinking about deeply for quite a long time and have been both moving toward action on for quite a long time in our own ways, maybe the AI spin and you with Cardano and blockchain. Pleasure to be chatting once more Charles.
