Browsing Twitter, you scroll through the recommended feed when you stumble across a post that tickles your beliefs in the 5th dimension on all registered senses. Savoring this moment, you reacted and replied with an edited Donald Trump gif doing his in-place, handing-clapping dance, not thinking much besides it looks goofy with a chance of cringe. However, the next time you try to log onto Twitter, the account is locked, informing you of violating their rules and regulations. Their reasoning: posting offensive imagery that caused a fellow internet citizen to get their counseling on the dial and report misconduct. But all you did was post something so innocent. What’s with the termination of further online interactions and the determination from the supposed unsung hero to remove tramua-inducing stimuli?
Justifiably or not, online sites unjustly deprived numerous individuals of their ability to access the online circle space without their consent. What happened to us living in a free country? I believe there shouldn’t be any restrictions on what you can say on the internet. There aren’t black mirror-esque speech filters on what we can and can’t say. So why are there such implementations online?
Ha! I look forward to reading this.
Yes, there is a lot of good critical material out there on this topic. So many pundits, smart people with opinions. Get a good balanced diet of reading in first, okay, and then let it rip!
