The role of freedom speech in social media for technology, information management and knowledge organization

Abstract

Social media's introduction has completely changed the communication landscape by providing previously unheard-of platforms for unrestricted expression. In the digital age, social media platforms have become crucial venues for public discourse, impacting how individuals and communities exchange information, articulate their opinions, and engage with social issues. Social media opens unprecedented levels of participation and connectedness, providing a platform for opinions that might not otherwise be heard. The relationship between social media technologies and freedom of speech is crucial in determining how modern knowledge organization and information management are structured. Social media platforms facilitate unprecedented levels of information flow and collaboration because they are dynamic forums for public discourse. But they also make it difficult to strike a balance between the right to free speech and the requirement for content monitoring. The impact of speech freedom on technology, information management, and knowledge organization on social media is examined in this abstract.

This study uses information science to examine how social media platforms are affecting free speech and related issues like information management and the impact of algorithms on public discourse. It examines how these topics are handled by different social media platforms and how they impact democratic engagement and knowledge organization.  The discussion also looks at how government regulation and legal frameworks define what constitutes appropriate online speech.
