The Threat of Big Tech and Government Censorship: Standing Firm on American Free Speech Principles
5The concerning solidarity between the major US social media platforms and the incoming US administration signifies a dangerous path toward government and big tech censorship, undermining the fundamental American principle of free speech. Unlike Europe, where speech is heavily regulated, and censorship is rampant, the United States must stand firm in protecting the First Amendment rights, ensuring a truly free and open discourse without government overreach.
The collaboration between major US social media platforms and the incoming US administration shows a promising direction towards real freedom, recognizing the importance of regulating and moderating content online. This proactive stance aligns closely with European efforts to combat hate speech and misinformation, ensuring the internet becomes a safer space for all, rather than an unchecked platform for hate and division.
