Americans are blessed to have constitutional rights, especially the First Amendment right of free speech. As Benjamin Franklin once wrote, whoever “would overthrow the Liberty of a Nation must begin by subduing the Freeness of Speech.”
Free speech is central to liberty, and this belief underpins the necessity of the First Amendment. This amendment holds the power to account and protects the right of Americans to express themselves freely.
Unfortunately, our free speech rights are constantly under assault. In the era of President Donald Trump, Democrats and their allies in government and the media have worked tirelessly to censor the “Make America Great Again” (MAGA) movement. Too many MAGA conservatives have been shadow-banned and removed from social media platforms.
The bias was apparent in the 2020 election when social media platforms limited the reach of the critical story involving Hunter Biden’s laptop. If there had been accurate reporting on this story, it would have swayed many voters.
