Social media expression

 

 

Should social media expression be treated differently than other speech?

Is it OK for Twitter to label tweets as mis-information? As I scroll through President Trump’s recent tweets, Twitter labels many of them with statements like “This claim about election fraud is disputed.” Should social media platforms police our speech in this way? More broadly, do you think that social media platforms are about individual freedom of expression (so we should protect free speech) or do we approach them as media sources, with some expectation that what we see is not deceptive or wrong (so some justification for labeling or censoring)? Is Twitter striking the right balance?
