I read the article, and it's a little concerning that a social media platform founder is getting upset by questions about platform speech regulation, which is a pretty basic product concern. I like the idea of a Twitter-like platform that caters better to Indian regional languages, but the problem with the founder saying "I'm not political so the platform is not political" is that his users are most definitely political and it won't remain "free for all" if the most vulnerable users are harassed off of it.
Also genuinely confused about the answer to the last question: "So there will be government-regulated laws that would govern the speech on Koo?" "No, you’re randomly putting words in my mouth. I’m not enjoying this conversation. I’m an independent person; I’m apolitical..."
Based on everything he said before, it sounds like the answer should have been a resounding Yes? He wants to offload the speech governing to laws?
