Minds Community,

We just released a research paper that we have co-authored with our advisor Daryl Davis and other experts titled "The Censorship Effect: An analysis of the consequences of social media censorship and a proposal for an alternative moderation model".

Backed up on IPFS here - https://censorshipeffect.com

The paper examines the adverse effects of social media censorship and proposes an alternative moderation model based on free speech and Internet freedom.

This research is critical to our mission as it provides clear evidence that censorship is actually amplifying radicalization and polarization and demonstrates why we must protect our Internet freedoms at all costs.

Co-authors Bill Ottman and Daryl Davis appeared on The Joe Rogan Experience podcast on March 10, 2022 to launch the paper. That interview can be watched here.

Feel free to provide feedback in the comments!
