Arguments for my position:  The first amendment protects the freedom of speech and religion for people to have the freedoms to say or support whatever they want. People need some censoring against very extreme or offensive free speech in online settings.

Argument #1: The first amendment has been around for hundreds upon hundreds of years as Americans have followed these beliefs since the beginning of our nation . The First amendment is an important right as freedom of speech allows everyone to have the right to their own opinions and protest actions they don't believe in. "One of the founding principles of the United States that Americans cherish is the right to freedom of speech." (Gonchar)

Argument #2: This right to free speech is used in all aspects of life especially in a court setting where a accused criminal is able to defend himself and his freedom during a trial. In many other countries people don't have this right. This right also has the ability to keep the government out of personal matters like religious beliefs." First Amendment’s free exercise clause prohibits deliberate religious persecution and discrimination by the government." (Decker )
