Straight Talk
by Nimfa L. Estrellado
Social media reminds us the freedom to think what you like and say what you think. The conversation becomes better to take place and to help people can reach anyone, even a national, global leader, or their favorite celebrities via Twitter or Facebook and that person can send a response in real time.
The web bolsters a worldwide ecosystem of social collaboration. Today life revolves around the social networking, with its status updates, news feeds, comment chains, political advocacy, reviews, rankings, and ratings.
Online networking gives individuals a voice it creates a platform where all sides of the discussion matter as well as are being heard globally, and where the activity is justified as well as requested.
Yet, now the risk to free speech in the now comes not just from customary enemies. More important today is the challenge from those who claim to support that freedom, yet try to restrict it in practice.
There is nothing surprising about free speech being threatened. The modern right to freedom of speech has been under threat since the moment it was first won. But there is something different happening today. Hate speech, trolls, anonymity, fake news online are being uncivil and manipulative on the internet persist and may get worse.
You know, everybody believes in free speech until you start questioning them about it.
But then again news blast about freedom of speech wars and social media ethics warps public opinion on the news once again when Twitter refuses U.S. order to reveal user behind anti-Trump account and when Mocha Uson curses at Vice President Leni and OVP on her DZRH show. According to reports Twitter cited freedom of speech as a basis for not turning over records about the account, @ALT_uscis. And for Mocha Uson, as indicated by reports her radio program on DZRH has been uncertainly suspended after a certain Jozy Acosta-Nisperos of the group The Silent Majority complained against Uson’s bad mouthing and tirades against Vice President Leni Robredo’s recorded message sent to the United Nations about the administration’s alleged extrajudicial killings.
While social media is an important tool, social media are becoming weaponized by terrorists in the dark web and people use if for spreading effective kinds of propaganda, fake news and online harassment.However, Google (with its Perspective API), Twitter and Facebook are experimenting with new ways to filter out or label negative or misleading discourse.
In the next decade, if things will get worse, social media will be under new mass governmental surveillance which can limit and chill freedom of speech.
