The essay question
Should political advertisements on social media be regulated?
The plan
Stance
No. Political advertisements on social media should not be regulated. Attempts to regulate collapse under epistemic fallibility, undermine the constitutional core of free political speech, violate Mill's principle of contestation, and reduce citizens to children rather than agents. The law should trust voters, not police their speech.
