Abstract

Tech is getting better, so more and more people read news and share it on sites like Facebook, WhatsApp, Twitter, Instagram, YouTube, and more. Apps on the web and phones that let people talk to each other online in different ways are called social media. People in other parts of the country can see what someone writes on social media in another part of the country. That cuts the world down. When people have freedom of speech, no one can stop them from saying what they want. You can also get data and thoughts from anywhere and share them with other people. People in India can share what they know and say whatever they want on social media. Online, we like being able to freely post, write, like, share, etc. On these social networking sites, people have a lot of freedom of speech. But how do we as users act on it? This essay talks about how people can lose their right to free speech on social media.
