Hi Samuel,

You raise some important questions and issues around Big Tech.

We should have a discussion about what freedom of speech should look like in today's world.

I don't live in the U.S., but Facebook and Twitter have played a crucial role in the spread of fake news, conspiracy theories, and hate speech in most countries.

We must talk about regulation and also the threat of monopolies, such as Facebook, which own Instagram, WhatsApp, and more.

As you say, it's complicated. Who gets to decide? Should each country regulate what can be shared or not online? What does free speech look like in different nations?

I have an abundance of questions, but I'm not sure who can answer them.
