I totally agree that we should always be open to what others have to say and decide for ourselves what is right and wrong. However, since these social media platforms are private entities, they have the right to censor what they want. If you don't like it, make your own platform or have an actual conversation with someone. This entire debate stems from the fact that we feel entitled to use social media. We forget that they're just companies letting us use their technology.
that one guy was super obnoxious. even if I agreed with him, he makes it hard to want to support him due to his arguing tactics.
One is loud the other is factual
this is the best episode from more perfect. I think there should be more of these debates on polarizing topics.
Honestly, that debate was ill. I'm pretty used to debating, but facing the kind of rhetoric and showmanship that was taking place there I'd consider just standing up and leave.
Ellie was overbearing in this episode. I'd love to hear some data and fact and less emotional diatribes from someone who is supposed to come across as a thoughtful lawyer.
I want more debates! This was an amazing episode that spoke to my current thoughts about free speech.
