Answer 2

Answer:

Companies use censorship because they have a responsibility to protect their users and deter potential violence. To begin, social media platforms are not subject to the First Amendment because they are private platforms. On a strictly legal basis, social media companies are not violating free speech – the same way Fox News is not violating free speech by not offering as many liberal perspectives as conservative ones. Thus, this argument should an ethical one rather than a legal one.

Scroll through any social media platform, and you will notice it no longer consists of a picture of your neighbor’s dog or a community effort to save the trees. As these platforms grow bigger and bigger, they become legitimate news sources. These platforms are now so large that many dwarf the audiences of most major media companies combined. As a result, they needed greater regulations. These companies have evolved from platforms to full-fledged media companies.

Once we acknowledge that these social media companies are just that – media companies – it becomes easy to see the need for a degree of self-censorship. All media companies have a set of rules and standards that they abide by to verify their content and prevent the spread of fake news. If media companies must abide by strong standards and rules, why shouldn’t these social media companies do the same?

Moreover, these social media companies are rightfully attempting to combat the spread of misinformation by preventing conspiracy theorists from posting on their platforms. This is a noble goal, especially in the aftermath of events like Pizzagate. It has become increasingly clear that malicious third parties are sometimes able to manipulate users’ data. The effects of misinformation on social media are not small; they have tangible, sometimes violent effects on society. Consequently, it is the basic responsibility of social media companies to curb the spread of such incendiary misinformation. Moreover, an accurate platform is a more appealing platform and a better business model.
