3. Do some research and build a case study out of this example.
Questions for research;
- What are there currently rules around on social media?
- What is the social commentary around the free speech vs. censorship in the case of President Trump at this time?
- Why is it a complex issue involving a post-truth society and the allegations that language is inciting violence?
