Trump was banned this week from Twitter and I think the company was right as there is no saying what he would do next. I think that there should be freedom of speech on social media but only to the extent of people's safety.

We abide by laws that the government makes everyday and don't always have the freedom to do or say what ever we want so there has to be some sort of limit to what we say if it endangers other people's safety.

I think that everyone deserves freedom to speak as it is a human right but I think there should be some boundaries towards the freedom of speech laws.

If you have a law it cannot really be defined as "free" speech? More "regulated" speech?

How quickly, in a crisis, our Philosophy classrorom discussions can become reality. If it might have seemed crazy a week ago that a US president could incite a violent mob to charge into government buildings, so, too, would the prospect of social media platforms banning the “leader of the free world”. The bans by Twitter, Facebook and Instagram on President Donald Trump raise profound philosophical issues — of freedom of speech.

I believe in John Stuart Mill's Freedom of speech where we can say what we want as long as it does not cause harm to others and that without freedom of speech and challenging truth, truth will become old and maybe no one will care.

In my opinion they were right to ban DT but perhaps not permanently. I think there should be restrictions on hate speech however you should be able to share your politics views freely and respectfully as we do still have freedom of speech. I think in certain circumstances such as presidential matters, the government should have a role in policing the internet however ultimately it is up to the social media companies. I do think freedom of speech is fundamental in the running of societies and communities and it is the reason many of us have rights today.

I do think the companies were right to ban trump from social media platforms. Trump handles his platforms carelessly and immaturely. I agree that people have free speech. But trump has a massive following and is very influential which he does not handle well. He was the power to cause massive destruction and danger across the world is he tell people to do so. And he has not proven himself as trustworthy on his platform. He told people to go and take over the capital which resulted in 5 deaths, the capital was trashed, loads of people being arrested. The last time the capital was stormed was in 1812 and their own president was the one who in-forced it. Obviously this was a very big deal which if nothing was done about it could go on to cause more deaths and damage. The best solution is to ban the president from social media.

Should you be allowed to say what you want on social media?

Yes you are allowed to say what u want on social media. Social media is a great place to spread your opinion but people are not afraid to tell you what they think. Spreading your opinion on something can then lead to you being ‘cancelled’ if this is deemed ‘the wrong opinion’. People do not hold back on tearing you down for this. So yes you can say what you want but there are a lot of consequences that may come with that.

Who is responsible for policing the internet do you think?

The internet obviously has bans in place that will remove videos that are deemed inappropriate that will then remove the video. But for policing things like being unkind or cruel its mainly the people that will all get together to put a stop to it. The internet is a massive place with basically everyone on it so when we all get together against something it has a huge impact and can pretty much put an end to anything.

No just like in real like you should not be allowed to say things that are false or hurtful top a singular group. You can have your opinions but as long as you do not attack a group just state your opinions.

I don’t believe you should be able to say whatever you want on social media. I think any form of intentionally negative remarks that could/will cause harm, incite violence, or cause anyone to harm themselves should be strictly illegal. Take Jesy Nelson from Little Mix, a girlband, as an example of negativity on social media. She recently left the band because she couldn’t cope with the pressures of being in one. She has been bullied on social media for almost 10 years, and it caused her to give up on her dream. How many dreams are being given up every day? How many lives are being lost? How many positive futures are slipping away? That’s why I believe that you can not say whatever you want on social media. It destroys lives physically and mentally.
