Our perception of social networks
Many of us would like our Twitter, Facebook and YouTube accounts not to be subject to any harassment, and not to be associated with compromising content. Likewise, we all wish to have full freedom of expression.
Social media allows us to connect with many people. This has clear advantages, but also many risks, which are sometimes underestimated. For this reason, a filter is necessary.
