Deepak Puri, CEO of The Democracy Labs, has developed the FastAlert Now app that allows organizers and non-profit organizations to send alerts to people without requiring their phone number, email, or downloading an app. This free app is a channel-based system that uses QR codes and URLs to enable users to subscribe to a specific channel and receive push notifications on their phone or computer while protecting the identity of the recipient.
Deepak and I talk about:
- Need for privacy-centric communication technologies
- Advantages of precise targeting of messages while protecting privacy
- Rapid alerts in emergencies and combating misinformation and rumors
- Why humor is a strategic weapon in advocacy
