What is your take on “Facebook ruining democracy”? You can’t deny that FB had a hand at spreading fake news and ultimately leading to Trump being elected in 2016. I wish FB did not. I understand the fine line with protecting freedom of speech but the type of content on FB is toxic. It seems like FB’s target user base is the right. Honestly, it makes me want to delete my account.

Hi Julie, I have been working on an alternative way to do social media the last couple of months. It revisits the business model for social and creates a much better incentive model for everyone and eliminates things like bots, trolls and advertising because it's monetised using a different model. Here's a 3 min pitch (https://drive.google.com/file/d/1AVu-1zHNTGL_G5dI8__YrvIxHG07iqvB/view?usp=sharing) which shows a demo but doesn't go into the details of how it works but I'm very happy to dive into with you as it would be great to get your feedback and thoughts. My email is rosh@up-side.co
