TRUMP AND TWITTER

We have very much valued freedom of expression in this country (and USA). Incitement to break the law should be an offence whether on social media or wherever, if it is not already. trumps words about anti-BLM demonstrators saying they were good people after BLM person had been killed becomes more nuanced, And more to the point who should draw the line. With the speed at which lies and false information gets disseminated it probably needs an independent body financed by the social media giants themselves to regulate 24/7.

Another instance at the moment is the anti-vac lobby. They are entitled to their view however misguided, but should they be able to spread the misinformation? I think not for the sake of public safety and well-being.

Censorship is a very difficult subject and should be treated with upmost caution by governments; but it should be them not the corporations that are making the decisions.
