Social-Media Companies Threaten Democracy | The Atlantic

This animated video from The Atlantic discusses how social media companies' unchecked power over speech platforms poses a threat to democracy. It illustrates this by showing abstract figures representing censorship and the control of information by these companies. The video highlights the need for regulations to ensure free speech online.

Today, social-media companies like Facebook and Google are the gatekeepers of meaningful freedom of speech. This is problematic, argues the New York Law School Professor Nadine Strossen, because these companies often self-regulate in ways that violate the First Amendment.
