The nation is split over what the role of social media platforms should be with respect to its content. Should these platforms police their content? Or, do we have a fundamental right to freedom of speech which such content-policing would violate?

Question: Should social media platforms be moderating or policing user-generated content? If so, what kind of content should be censored? For instance, is it morally permissible (or even obligatory) to delete or flag a post for merely containing false information? Why or why not? Should the president’s posts be granted an exception to such a policy? Why or why not?
