- Pink Checkmark system? Verify all accounts or continue 2-class system
- Can we still make money?
- Moderation
- Clients and API openness - on what axes will they compete? Can they compete on algos? Community curation?
- How important is authenticity? Each tweet signed?
- Editable cheeps?
- Delete cheeps?
- Mike Jones: Listening to Daniel’s ION presentation, I asked from the POV of a naïve person, what are these ION DIDs good for in the first place; his answer was
- Daniel wants identities that Twitter can’t take away from Donald Trump
- Child pornographers would also then be sovereign over their identifiers
- Kim: People select their own echo chambers
- Juan: Echo chamber / child porn dynamics have a lot in common (HBO Documentary “into the storm”)
- Erica: Social media as a way to advertise, finding markets. Want to market to people who are interested
- Small business, organic marketing, micro-commerce
