70. Is There Still Hope for the Internet? - Kristin Hansen

The Hidden Power of Social Norms

Social media often gets blamed for fueling outrage and deepening political divides. But what if the very tools that spread division could be used to bridge it?

In this episode, we talk with Kristin Hansen, Executive Director of Civic Health Project, about Normsy.ai—a groundbreaking initiative using human-plus-AI tools to foster civility and connection online.

Kristin shares her personal journey into bridge-building, why social norms matter just as much as rules, and how we can all play a part in reshaping the online world for the better.
