Part 9/11:

The Irony of Regressive Politics from a Social Media Disreputable

It is particularly ironic that Teigen, who has a history of offensive tweets and cyberbullying, is now proposing social media restrictions purportedly for societal good. Critics suggest that her advocacy might be motivated by a desire to control narratives or hide her own past misdeeds rather than genuine concern for societal well-being.

The debate extends beyond individual cases to questions about whether society can realistically expect personal responsibility to curb excessive social media use or if formal regulations are necessary. Many believe a curated approach, where users self-impose limits and platforms create safer spaces, is preferable, as blanket censorship risks suppression of free expression.
