2/10/2017 2 Comments Rogue NationRoque Twitter AccountsRecently within the news, there have been several issues with Trump wanting to sensor out important information regarding climate change. As Trump believes that climate change is not a real even that is occurring around the world, he wants to make sure that the nation is also aware about this. He is capable of doing this by censoring many government agencies that release information regarding climate change. This censorship of information has resulted in the creation of twitter accounts that are similar to actual twitter accounts of government agencies. These twitter accounts are called rogue twitter accounts because they almost have identical symbols to the government agencies they are copying, except for some small changes. Nobody really knows who created these rogue Twitter accounts, but most of them in general have more followers than the actual Twitter agency accounts. These rogue Twitter accounts tend to talk about some of the things that official government agency Twitter accounts are not able to talk about. These accounts have been under debate recently, mainly due to the fact that they are apposing the "rule" of Trump. This results in several groups of people being affected by this which mainly include Twitter, Trump Administration, and mainly people who follow these accounts. These people can range from just people living within the United States or people in other countries, after all, Twitter is open for everyone. The only issue that I think might cause there to be issues might be the fact that the Trump administration is going to try to shut these Twitter pages down. This type of action from the result would result in their being a debate about the topic of the government trying to regulate people’s speech within social media. This will result in a controversial issue that could cause a great amount of chaos internally. This could be as bad or worse than the rights that happened at Berkeley earlier this year in (either late Jan. or early Feb. 2017). I personally think that this is a direct way to appose freedom of speech because the Trump administration is trying to keep us in the dark. People should have the right to know about the things that are happening around them, especially if is something that is going to affect either them or their children. Such things like this should always be open to people so they can be aware of what is happening around them. I think that this is a good way to make sure that people are not kept in the dark about things that are happening around them.

I say it is too early to really understand the potential impact Trump is going to have. He doesn't have nearly as much power as people assume he does, and while I don't like him or support him, I also feel people are getting carried away with being fearful of what he may, or may not be able to do.
