The suspension of President Donald Trump’s social media accounts by the technology companies in the United States further emphasizes that there are certain limits to free speech that both everyday citizens and public officials must abide by.
Nevertheless, this suspension should in no way be misconstrued or misinterpreted to limit the expression of the legitimate freedom of speech and the expression of citizens on social media.
This is a teachable moment for the entire world, as this is a fast-evolving field, hence, new precedents will continue to be set in the governance of the social media space globally.
As we all continue to learn from these recent developments, all of us, as citizens and public figures must continue to adhere to the highest standards of the truth as we utilize these platforms.
