And we're up gentlemen what's happening good to see you you're happening man good to see you again

Beautiful purple shirt I love it

Thanks for having us

And um thank you and Bill tell first of all tell me what's going on with Mines

Mines is one of the first that I was aware of like alternative social media network

That was committed to free speech. Yeah, what how is it going? It's going I mean there's sort of a whole landscape of alternative networks emerging

And so you've got this spectrum of apps where you've like I think of I put everything through a litmus test when I'm thinking of an alternative network

Basically is it transparent? Does it publish their source code? Most of these alternatives are not available on the internet

Does it publish their source code most of these alternative apps? I don't need to name names, but I could they're and they don't publish their source code

So you can't look at the algorithms to see what's happening. You can't see if there's spyware in there if they have Google analytics little nasty stuff that

So you're talking about getter getter

Yeah

Because I found out the parlor rumble and now I'm not trying to trash these people I think that the free speech stuff is good like the more

But some of their terms aren't even free speech so you know free speech policy is essential so I absolutely respect any network that is putting forward a free speech policy

But if you can't have free speech policy with sketchy algorithms and closed source code because then we don't know if you're soft censoring shadow banning

We don't know what's happening in the newsfeed behind the scenes

Which we definitely know Facebook does Instagram does Twitter does that's all real

Right so then you've got are they privacy focused and to end encrypted do they have access to the content of your messages
