1-09. Purity Culture, Polyamory & Dating App Safety with Gabrielle Alexa Noel

The president of the United States just called for Democrats and Republicans to unite against Big Tech abuses - Norma gets into it in the intro (link below). Then, this week’s guest is Gabrielle Alexa Noel, AKA Gab Alexa, and she’s an author, software developer, and bisexual, polyamorous influencer. Norma and Gabby discuss purity culture (and how Gabby went from purity pact to polyamory – this episode is full of personal stories from both of them), Gabby’s book How to Live with the Internet and Not Let It Run Your Life, and Gabby’s work in sextech. Gabby is Lead Portal Developer for the dating app #open, and she gets into background checks and other forms of content moderation and how she and her team approach user safety, as well as the challenges sextech companies face (give them money and let them advertise!), and more.
