Elon Musk's recent purchase of Twitter has made headlines this week, with many speculating on what changes might be coming and their impact on social media and free speech.
Concerns that come to the forefront center around what happens when the ability of a single individual influences public discourse and how tech companies negotiate monitoring speech vs. free speech. Some even wonder if this means Donald Trump will be allowed back on Twitter.
We hear from experts who talks about the power and influence of social media, which one cybersecurity expert who says freedom of speech is important, but so is telling the truth.
