Social Media and Democracy

[Shawn]

Is social media good or bad for democracy?

Why or why not?

 

[Heatman]

As long as freedom of speech is guaranteed in a democratic government, social media is meant to co-exist with it.

So, yeah I believe that social media is good for democracy.

Social media is good for democracy because common people can voice their concern. If you do not like your president, you cannot go to his office to complain, however, social media provides a platform to tell what you don't like.

I agree plus the presidents use social media to complain as well.

If they can do it, we should be able to do it, too!
