Social media platforms are losing their status as neutral carriers by censoring content, which exposes them to liability and pressures from both sides of the political spectrum.

Government should not exert any form of pressure on companies to censor, as it undermines the principles of free speech, and this administrative power is exemplified by Facebook's Libra project, which faced threats from senators warning banks against collaborating with them, highlighting the use of state power without formal laws or regulations.

The legislation regarding TikTok gives the president the power to potentially remove the platform, which raises concerns about freedom in society versus authoritarianism.

The TikTok bill, signed into law, poses a threat to free speech by giving the government the power to decide which platforms we can use for information and expression.

The algorithms on social media platforms tend to amplify bad faith interactions, as many users, especially anonymous ones, engage in spreading misinformation for their own gain.

Companies are often victims of government pressure, but those funded by the government may find themselves in a precarious position regarding censorship.

The concentration of power in AI will lead to a new power struggle, with those who own the platforms becoming increasingly powerful and potentially unaccountable.

Choosing freedom over government control is essential; if the government dictates where we can get information, it undermines our free will and ability to make informed decisions.

The psychological impact of living in a world where we can't trust what we see online could destabilize our mental health and societal structures, particularly democratic systems.
