- 0:00 Hey Gaines, um I think media censorship is has been a big issue recently.
- 0:05 Um you see initiatives with Elon Musk um and X.
- 0:11 However, I think politically um social media censorship should be out of the picture.
- 0:16 However, when you kind of completely rule out any rules and you have complete free speech on, say, a platform like X to kind of focus on that, um, you see some weird stuff going on there.
- 0:29 And um yes, free speech is valuable in this country.
- 0:34 I mean it's one of the the founding principles that this country was was built on, but to an extent we gotta regulate what is being posted online, in my opinion.
- 0:44 I feel like social media is a very powerful tool, and the media in general is a very powerful tool.
- 0:49 So if someone is putting out some misleading information or falsified information, I think that should be acknowledged.
- 0:57 And also, you know, there I know there's like ways you can filter out kind of explicit content, but I don't think that should be really allowed on the internet in any capacity.
- 1:10 So um it's definitely a a line that people kind of have been crossing here and there, and you know it's a tough subject, like what is complete free speech, but I think the constitution didn't account for social media, so that's something we should reassess this the this day or this day and age.
