Question Title Fundamental Rights Question Description A social media platform takes down a politically sensitive post citing its community guidelines on hate speech. The user who posted the content argues that this is censorship. The platform, in turn, maintains the stance that it is entitled to regulate content on its private platform to ensure the safety of the online space. Discussion Question: Which fundamental right has been breached in this case from the perspective of the user? Do you believe that the removal of the controversial post by the social media platform violates the user’s right (identified by the student in part 1 of the question) or is it the social media team’s socially responsible behaviour to restrain violence? Give only two convincing arguments supporting your choice.
