It's the People's Right

I agree that this past years presidential campaigning has gotten a little out of hand, with the opponents constantly trash talking about each other, especially in the democratic race. They would rather be disrespectful than being a representative and acting like a true leader. I do disagree, however, that there has been government intervention in the campaign on the social site "Facebook."

Facebook originated in 2004, and has become one of the most popular, and widely recognized social networks in the world. People from all over the world can interact with each other, and share different opinions on world issues while never even meeting. I don't believe that the news and groups on Facebook is government mediation, rather just the people voicing their opinions and trying to find out other people's thoughts on different issues. It is the right of any person in the world to assert issues that they feel are important, and to have their beliefs heard.
