Free Speech Online

The idea of free speech was founded on face to face talking, they could not have planned on things like the internet coming about and changing how people fundamentally communicate with each other. It is a lot harder to hate on someone face to face than it is through a screen, as while on the internet people get confidence boosts and can hide behind the idea of anonymity.

And now with younger and younger generations of people using the internet it is important that we help shield them from the potential dangers that the internet can have. So although I agree people should not be censored for certain political beliefs, when things they are posting are hurting people and setting us back as a society is it truly wrong to take away their platform. Because free speech in person is a right, but free speech online is a privilege and it is clear that not everyone deserves that privilege.
