@malikajc1 Those are the pros and cons that most stood out to me too. The openness of social media aligns with the principle of freedom, but misinformation can highly influence an individual's actions. Great point!
@KevinWanderw You make a great point abt social media being privatley owned - that is something I hadn't considered. Though I believe most of social media is open to free expression, there are ppl who can overpower that freedom.
Younger people have more information on politics and human rights from sources beyond their community. This allows youth to practice media literacy and advocacy. Social media creates space for people to have a voice and engage in intercultural dialogues.

There are pros and cons of social media when it comes to a democratic government and the principle of freedom, though, I believe that social media mostly fosters a democratic political system. (pt. 1)
