every social platform is quickly becoming a honeypot, if it's not already.

💯 It was inevitable.
Always has been, hasn't it. Crazy what we've allowed to happen to all of our data. Time for privacy by design. For the kids.
I have a question: weren't you responsible for all the twitter censorship in 2020-2021? I'm having trouble understanding your change of heart. Have you ever addressed this on stage? No judgement, just concerned and genuinely curious. Would love an explanation.

the choir hears you
But he built it. I know there is gov pressure and stakeholder shady interests. But he created it. How are we supposed to trust anything he says now? For a lot of privacy folks hearing Jack talk about censorship is comical. Again, no judgement. I'm really curious if anyone has ever asked this to Jack on stage. @ODELL ?? Its like Zuckerberg apologizing for censoring during covid and then tomorrow speaking at a Nostr conference about censorship and freedom, it'd be ridiculous.

He was okay with banning Trump and pushing the algos in favor of the left. Those same commies are now lurking around NOSTR.
Not hating! I love jack and his talks are awesome and inspiring. I would love to hear the story. What happened internally, what made him change his view, what was his though processes when doing all the censoring, what made him leave twitter, etc. We deserve transparency don't you think? He was CEO during the twitter files and all the censorship. I'd love to know what made him change and dedicate his life to Bitcoin and Nostr. Was it regret?
Fair enough, it's not black and white. People change. Don't trust, verify. By their fruit you will know them.
100% agree. I assume politics got in the way. At some point your vision just runs away on you. You are dealing with a lot of people, different points of view and political orientations. I'm sure it's nit very fun to try and bring your vision across.

I feel that about the internet in general, at least as a layperson such as myself understands the internet.
Ok gpt corrected me and it seems to say Jack intends to include the sense of not only catching wrongdoing or entraping people, but also manipulating them on a grand, highly scientific and directed fashion.

Every social platform that you can use for free is a honeypot to steal your data; it has been like this for about 10 years
"Traditional forms of media, like newspapers, television, and radio, have long been tools for shaping public opinion, influencing behavior, and directing attention toward particular narratives, products, or ideas. Advertisers, political groups, and others have used media to influence public perception and behavior for their own benefit, often with profit or power as the primary motive. What makes social media distinct is the scale, speed, and precision with which it can direct attention and influence behavior. Social media platforms leverage algorithms, personal data, and real-time interaction to create highly targeted experiences, often amplifying the effects of influence and manipulation far beyond what traditional media could achieve. This gives social media a unique capacity to act as a "honeypot" in ways that are more pervasive and personal, but conceptually, it's a continuation of patterns seen in all media.

As the saying goes ... if you do not know who the aucker around the table is... Then it's probably YOU image
Social media IS a honeypot now. You would know, for you started one in 2008.
Get your head out of your ass @jack there us more to life than fucking social media, you casually ignore the Child Sex Abuse Material and the fact that he BEAT his 5 year old son into a concussion. Karma will come for you Jack.
When you become a father your perspective changes. As a father I am prepared to spend life in prison or face a death sentence if need be in order to protect children from Pedos. And I mean actual father not some sperms donor bullshit. Perhaps @jack will go down that journey and his perspective will change. So many people here went to Japan but learned nothing. I have been several times, and my family has done Business with Japan for 50 years. Observe the culture there, people are considerate of others. Children walk home from school alone. We need to consider others not be selfish, whining, privileged babies. Elon Musk just wants to socialize the cost of moderation and line his pockets. If decentralization means the proliferation of Child Sex Abuse Material then fuck decentralization and fuck NOSTR. As a vehement Bitcoiner I disavow any link between Bitcoin and NOSTR. NOSTR could turn into a cesspit given these silly tricks and Blame games the devs are trying. I don't want money, Jack can turn up with a bag of cash with 6 million dollars for me and I will set it on fire 🔥. We can sip champagne while it burns. If you're going to build, build well or not at all.
