Yes, because social media has large influences on important topics such as politics. It is understandable that the public can call out lies themselves, but as shown with the Capitol raid, some don't listen, and conflict starts.

I think these social media platform should be regulated because it's way to influential to young children and even adults with ideas and beliefs that aren't true. Some rumors may be quite sensitive to specific people and it can get out of hand especially because it's hard to control people behind their screens. These platforms do help introduce new ideas so it's good in some way.

Social Media should be regulated because there are a lot of things that may not be appropriate for younger children. Even there are age restrictions that doesn't stop kids from certain apps. This may lead to them seeing inappropriate content. Social media also give the wrong ideas. Some people with lots of influence on social media may do many wrong things that can influence others.

I think that social media should be regulated when information is being shared. False info and data could be easily passes around via social media, which makes it not difficult for people to get the wrong idea about an event, topic, or person. When coming across a piece of news, instagram/facebook/twitter should make sure that the news is from an official source, or add a disclaimer that the contents in the blog.artical/post/tweet can be false and then link official information.

Yes, these Social Medias platform should be regulated because it has a big effect and influence on people and it can be bad because there are some bad influencer that can teach kids to be like them and there should be a restriction where kids aren't allowed to use them.

Social Medias should be regulated because on Social Medias, people can post different ideas or topics that can be or can not be true to grab the other user's attention like the Yellow Journalism. They can also create bad influences for younger children.

In my opinion, I think that social media should be regulated because that way, the it would be harder to spread false rumors or plan something such as a riot. These social media platforms had let Donald Trump spew lies that he had won the election and the message angered/lit a fire under lots of Trump supporters who (some, not all) eventually raided the U.S. Capitol which ended in 5 deaths. If there was regulation, then the raid would possibly not have happened and those people who died would (maybe) still be alive today.

Social media should be regulated because social media is a place where people can talk behind screens without owning up to their words, thus making it a perfect place to spread lies or claims that could influence bad or wrong behavior and thoughts.

Social Media should be regulated because it is a big platform for communication so false information or propaganda can be leaked onto these platforms and they can spread really fast. If it is just funny memes, then that's ok but if it was a rumor about somebody's private life or their home situation that can be very dangerous because something can happen to them and the fake stories that are spreading can ruin their lives. An example is saying that someone committed murder even when they didn't. If that lie spreads about a person they could go to jail for something they didn't do and when they come out of jail people wouldn't want them in jobs and etc.

I agree with you because no one really cares about the truth after the rumors spread. All they care about is something to talk about and if it is interesting or not. This is just like the yellow journalism, but instead of a newspaper, it is social media that spreads just with one tap.

I think that Social Media should be regulated because it can affect or ruin a person's life. If a classmate decides to play a joke on you and spread rumors, as time passes, everyone will think that it's real. They won't bother to find out if it's real or not. It can ruin your mood and your fame of a good student.

I agree but not only does it ruin someone's life it can also spread false news and bullying is also a big problem. If someone is getting bullied they can result to drugs, self harm and other issues. Fake news can also spread really fast and if it's not kept under control many can get hurt.

These social media platforms shouldn't be regulated because it is a great place to express other feelings about something. Like news, government issues, or just anything random things. If these were regulated, no one would be able to say anything without the fear of getting information taken or no freedom of saying anything. Some topics can be harmful but there are supervision by the actual company through reporting the posts or comment.

As a person who does not use social media too often, Based on what I've Heard, Yes. Even Though Social Media is something to express into the Public. Sometimes it's the things that you don't express intentionally can be stolen, Such as your data, Also I think this is a great way to avoid Controversy because so far I can assume that a lot of public drama such as racial, sexist quotes, Misleading information and other such was heard by social media even though I feel like this was already regulated, I feel like they more regulate more.

Yes, I definitely think that Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram should be regulated to meticulously monitor the content that people post on these social media sites. Information transfers rather quickly from the person posting the information to the people receiving the information. This is part of what caused the protestors to rebel against the Capital in the first place. Furthermore, these social media sites are dangerous because false information can be easily spread to people using these sites.

Yes, I believe that Facebook, Twitter or Instagram should be regulated to observe what people are doing and how they're doing whatever they're doing. This is because people can be doing many fishy things like phishing, scamming, etc. Another huge problem amongst the internet is yellow journalism and the spread of rumors and FAKE news, this can alter what people think about certain things from what is really true or false.

I think that major social media websites, especially ones constantly indulged in politics should be regulated. Regulating these sites will make sure the correct information gets out to the public and everyone is safe. However, I think there needs to be a rule on what these sites can limit because then you are shifting the power of the people on the app to the people who run the app. This would allow these people to be crazy powerful and allow them to have too much power over political arguments.

Meh. This should be on them, and their main goal is to make money, not as a public outlet for everyone to use equally. Certain people have more influence, and lobbying and agendas certainly exist within social media. Some things get deleted or censored immediately, while other, more attention grabbing posts rise, for almost no apparent reason.
