FORBES - Oct 27 - According to alternative social network Minds.com CEO Bill Ottman, freedom is the best policy. And, he says, it's also the policy that results in the least harm. Ottman acknowledges that we all want less hate speech and safe online communities. Rather than censorship, however, he advocates a policy of engagement. That's why he engaged Daryl Davis as an advisor for the Minds community. Davis is the well-known blues musician who, as a black man, has de-radicalized as many as 200 members of the KKK via engagement and conversation. Ottman wonders if that model is scalable with digital technology. Most social networks employ some form of AI to find and block objectionable content, but it, frankly, is far from perfect.
