As Benjamin Franklin once wrote,  whoever \u201cwould overthrow the Liberty of a Nation, must begin by subduing  the Freeness of Speech.\u201dFree speech is central to liberty, and  this belief underpins the necessity of the First Amendment. This  amendment holds the powerful to account and protects the right of  Americans to express themselves freely.<div id=\"tncms-region-article_instory_top\" class=\"tncms-region hidden-print\"><\/div>Unfortunately,  our free speech rights are constantly under assault. In the era of  President Donald Trump, Democrats and their allies in government and the  media have worked tirelessly to censor the \u201cMake America Great Again\u201d  (MAGA) movement. Too many MAGA conservatives have been shadow banned and  removed from social media platforms.<iframe id=\"google_ads_iframe_\/132916964,22675063987\/an17.com\/news\/commentary_11\" style=\"position: absolute; width: 0px; height: 0px; left: 0px; right: 0px; z-index: -1;\" width=\"0\" height=\"0\"><\/iframe>The  bias was apparent in the 2020 election when social media platforms  limited the reach of the critical story involving Hunter Biden\u2019s laptop.  If there had been accurate reporting on this story, it would have  swayed a considerable number of voters.According to a survey by  the Polling Company, 17% of Joe Biden voters in \u201cseven swing states\u201d  would have switched their support to President Donald Trump if they had  known about the laptop story. Thus, on this one issue, the 2020 election  result would have been different.Americans deserve the truth on  all issues and the best way to achieve that result is full disclosure of  vital information. The last thing Americans need is for government  bureaucrats deciding what information is acceptable or what app can be  placed on our phones.<iframe id=\"google_ads_iframe_\/132916964,22675063987\/an17.com\/news\/commentary_12\" style=\"position: absolute; width: 0px; height: 0px; left: 0px; right: 0px; z-index: -1;\" width=\"0\" height=\"0\"><\/iframe>Today,  Americans are increasingly dependent on social media.
