It is important for us as a society to stand up against these social media companies and fight for our first amendment right, freedom of speech.]]> 2022-04-05 15:43:20 UTC https://padlet.com/ful511942/n2oq2lmv7ye9wiye/wish/2130941705 ful511942 https://padlet.com/ful511942/n2oq2lmv7ye9wiye/wish/2131290849 People that lean on the right will agree that suspending Former President Donald Trump's Twitter account was wrong because we are able to speak how we want, regarding politics.

People that lean on the left will agree that suspending Former President Donald Trump's Twitter account was the right thing to do because apparently he was posting offensive tweets. 

I support the right side of this issue because we have the first amendment for a reason, to be able to speak what we believe especially with politics. Also, people from the left side of the political spectrum talk bad about people on the right side multiple times, but they seem to never be punished for it.]]> 2022-04-05 18:51:00 UTC https://padlet.com/ful511942/n2oq2lmv7ye9wiye/wish/2131290849 ful511942 https://padlet.com/ful511942/n2oq2lmv7ye9wiye/wish/2131303425 As of September 2021, Texas governor, Greg Abbott, signed what's called the "censorship bill" where it makes it illegal for social media companies to ban or delete posts based on their political viewpoints. 

This bill favors my issue in saying how we need to stop deleting posts/accounts based on which side of the political spectrum you are on. We are allowed to have our own opinion on things, that's what makes America so great!]]> 2022-04-05 18:59:28 UTC https://padlet.com/ful511942/n2oq2lmv7ye9wiye/wish/2131303425 ful511942 https://padlet.com/ful511942/n2oq2lmv7ye9wiye/wish/2141055761 From the website The Post Millennial, they explain that “In July [2021], the President, the Surgeon General, and the Press Secretary all made statements that social media and media companies should censor and suppress content that went against the administration’s messaging.” If this doesn’t show how wrong censoring people on social media is, then I don’t know what will. The Biden Administration is trying to censor people on social media that simply don’t believe/agree with his messaging. This is America and we have the right to our own opinion, but the Biden Administration is shooting that opportunity down really quick. We need to have those different opinions being shared in our country because then that way we'll know which side of the political spectrum we identify ourselves with.]]> 2022-04-12 15:51:01 UTC https://padlet.com/ful511942/n2oq2lmv7ye9wiye/wish/2141055761 ful511942 https://padlet.com/ful511942/n2oq2lmv7ye9wiye/wish/2144135108 From the website Forbes, they explain that "Our study found that more than one in four people believe there should be more censorship on the internet..." Even though some people believe that there should be political censorship on social media because people can get offended by what others think/say, it still isn't right to stop letting people believe what they want to politically, especially when we are in a country that gives us the right to do that.]]> 2022-04-14 17:05:17 UTC https://padlet.com/ful511942/n2oq2lmv7ye9wiye/wish/2144135108 ful511942 https://padlet.com/ful511942/n2oq2lmv7ye9wiye/wish/2198165610 3 politicians that believe political censorship on social media is wrong are...
