This isn't a vote on whether the politician's claims are good — both options assume they're false and harmful. It's a vote on who should hold the lever that silences amplification. Option A treats platforms as private moderators that don't owe equal access; option B accepts that the same lever, once normalised, gets used in cases that look very different from this one.
Why people split
Both sides agree harm matters. They disagree about who is best positioned to decide what counts as enough harm to silence speech. One side trusts platform accountability — they bear reputational risk and respond to public pressure. The other distrusts any actor, corporate or state, given a discretionary power over which speech reaches which audience.

What the split says
These choices ask how much risk a society should accept so people can decide for themselves. Once votes come in, this section will show how voters trade freedom for safety.
Worth asking yourself
- How much risk is the freedom worth?
- Is the safer option also the more honest one?
