About Bill Ottman
In 2011, Ottman co-founded Minds, an open source social networking platform that is regarded globally as an alternative to traditional social media networks based on its dedication to radical transparency, monetization, digital rights, blockchain and equity crowdfunding.

In November 2019, Ottman launched a civil discourse project called Change Minds with Daryl Davis, well-known for deradicalizing over 200 members of the KKK. He has contributed writing to The Next Web about the correlation between censorship and radicalization.
