Is free speech truly free on social media platforms? In this video, we take a deep dive into what constitutes free speech online, what crosses the line, and the complex issue of content moderation and censorship by big tech companies.
I analyze the varying approaches of major platforms – from Telegram’s staunch free speech stance as vocalized by CEO Pavel Durov, to the more heavy-handed content policies and admitted censorship on Meta’s Facebook and Instagram. We also look at the evolving situation on X (formerly Twitter) under Elon Musk’s leadership as he pushes to loosen restrictions.
Ultimately, the state of free speech online impacts all of us as social media users. We must grapple with the balance between open discourse and the need to limit hate speech, misinformation, and dangerous content. There are no easy answers, but it’s a critical conversation as online platforms increasingly shape public dialogue.
