Indeed, banning TikTok might set a precedent that could lead to the restriction of other social media platforms, jeopardizing the freedom of speech and expression. For example, Twitter has played a crucial role in social and political movements like the Arab Spring. Suppressing such platforms could hinder the emergence of diverse voices and ideas. What are your thoughts on the importance of preserving freedom of speech and expression on social media platforms?

The government should not regulate any speech on any of the platforms. Keep all apps legal for all ages. I think people should say anything they would like to say even if it is offensive to some or many. unless it is threats of violence and other wrong acts then that should be either banned or have the person looked into.

While I understand the importance of freedom of speech, history has shown that unlimited speech can have negative consequences. For instance, during the Rwandan Genocide in 1994, radio broadcasts fueled ethnic hatred and incited violence, ultimately contributing to the deaths of nearly a million people. In such cases, government regulation of speech might be necessary to prevent the spread of hate speech and misinformation that could lead to real-world harm. Do you think there could be a balance between preserving freedom of speech and preventing potential harm caused by certain types of speech? If so, how would you propose to strike that balance?
