What would the world be without social media? It would be simply a dead world. Social media changed our perspective towards life. It significantly changed communication between one another and the way we express ideas with an enormous amount of material available.The first amendment of the constitution promises us freedom of speech. The freedom of speech should apply to social media. We have been able to express our ideas, good or bad, without censorship until the government change its view.
There have been many arguments whether or not to limit ourselves to the things we write, the content we post on social media and how it is affecting our freedom of speech. There have always been pros and cons in the way that government is governing the country. Some people assert that there should be limits on the amount of materials people post online. Further, they believe that because it is nowadays easy to create websites, anybody can post according to their heart's desire; These people th that the government need to do its job censoring all websites included the ones that provides inappropriate materials. Though this unpleasant content is real and true the all these materials should not be allowed on the Internet.Censorship is not the answer. Censoring content on the internet will definitely not solve anything. For instance, in human psychology, we tend to want to do things that we are prevented from. Therefore, the problem will further intensify. The Internet is freedom, we should have the right to do whatever we feel and freely express ourselves online. The government should not interfere with internet content.
Censorship by its definition is the suppression of publishing or accessing information on the internet and it can be carried out by governments or by private organization, either at the order of government or on their own initiative. As we see Individuals can sometimes better self-censor themselves with what content they post online, however, due to the intimidation of the government for arresting these people with irrelevant materials can push them to hurt the government by posting unnecessary content all over the internet.
