Question

Hannah is writing an argument about free speech on the internet. Read her claim.

Answer 1

A)The internet is one place people can speak their minds without fear.

D)It is impossible to know whether the people we entrust with the job of judging online content will act in our best interests.

These both support Hannah's claim about allowing free speech on the internet so that protection does not turn into censorship. Option A supports the idea that the internet is a place where people can speak their minds. Option D explains why giving people the task of judging online content is problematic. The other two options are in favor of allowing certain safeguards that would limit free speech on the internet. These are counterclaims that Hannah needs to address in her argument but to show why they are weak not as support for her claim.
