updated 1:49 AM EST, Mon November 28, 2011 (CNN) -- A high school senior, who faces a Monday morning deadline to apologize to Kansas Gov. Sam Brownback for a disparaging tweet, has said she will not write the apology letter.

at least she was voicing her opinion. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

she shouldn't even have to apologize for anything like freedom of expression so she has all right to post what ever she wants on twitter isn't that what it was made for to post things your thinking of or your opinion on something

I completely agree with this idea. Social media cannot stop the president/ politicians from spreading their ideas and opinions as they shouldn't be able to for anyone else. They should get treated the same and if anything is better for us as people to see what they post and get better/ easier insights on their personal views. We have the right to know our president's views and they have the right to express them. Especially since so many people are on social media it helps educate people better than just reading what the news say that they say.

I dont agree with this becuase it's dumb why would a state be able to control what a private owned company does or doesn't do.

"On Nov. 25, Twitter temporarily suspended Andy Ngo, a journalist known for documenting political violence, due to a tweet he sent to Chelsea Clinton. The suspension is a case study in differing definitions of "hate speech" on the left and right"

Does the punishment fit his ¨crime¨ ?

That one little picture went a litter too far. His mom had a point, no answers or questions were shown in the picture, just the boys belief.

It's a picture...saying yolo...on twitter. Yes, it's on a test, but I'd rather it be on a test (showing no answers so it's really not something to get this hyped up about) than carved into the side of my car.

"The "hateful conduct" policy prohibits users from making direct attacks or threats against people on the basis of considerations like race, ethnicity, sexual orientation, or gender, for example, but it doesn't necessarily also encompass tweets that dehumanize users in different ways."

How will twitter actually be successful in cracking down on 100% of the dehumanizing language without stepping on some free speech toes?

On a campaign swing through Puerto Rico Tuesday, the former president was asked by a reporter whether he had any response to Trump's latest attack on Twitter -- alluding to his past infidelities and charging that he was the "worst abuser" of women in U.S. political history. "No.

"When President Barack Obama decided to take questions directly over social media he didn't turn to his 28 million Facebook fans, or his 19 million Twitter followers. Instead, he turned to a website called Reddit where popularity is measured, fittingly, in votes."

Haha, I think this was a brilliant PR move by Obama. I'm glad that they're beginning to pick up on the fact that the internet is a huge community... which, of course, is a huge community of potential voters. This makes Obama seem way more accessible and normal, which always registers well with voters. I must say though, he is definitely a politician. A lot of those answers were incredibly vague and some didn't even answer the question...

Hillary Clinton, who has increasingly turned to Twitter as she plans her all-but-announced presidential run, upset the Chinese government on Monday with a message she posted on the social networking site.

I don't really see anything wrong with what Clinton tweeted.

"Donald Trump Jr got a lesson in sharing from social media on Tuesday, after tweeting a picture of his daughter Chloe with her Halloween candy haul, and threatening to take half of it away to "teach her about socialism"."

This was hilarious

Interesting Twitter battle between ESPN and our President. What do you think about Trump's Twitter activity?

University of Iowa journalism professor Lyombe Eko said the court "has given protection to people who are bullied on the Internet, the victims of smears or lies or accusations posted on Facebook and Twitter." People will be able to sue the attacker, but not the company that hosts the site where the statements are posted, he said.

So now you can get sue for saying something rude about some (everyone dose) ? If you don't want people saying mean things to you don't get on that website and don't involve your self with those people ...

I honestly really like this decision. The rights of individual people haven't changed at all. Nontraditional publishers are just granted the same protections as traditional publishers, and this is an important and necessary decision considering the huge rise in popularity of nontraditional publishers. Beth Weier's lawyer said that ASI [the publisher] shouldn't qualify for protection because it "simply did cover art and bound the book and put it on a website." However, e-publishing is now an important part of the publishing industry, and if we accept his reasoning NO publishers qualify for protection, because none of them write the material they publish.

The President-elect called Tuesday for punishing anyone who burns the American flag by "perhaps" jailing them -- or even stripping them of citizenship. The Twitter broadside revived concerns that the incoming President isn't fully aware of the limits he will face in office or that he may try to eliminate as many curbs as possible.

"In her nearly 6-minute address, the actress highlighted the importance of the "most vilified segments in American society right now" -- "Hollywood, foreigners and the press." Without referencing him by name, the actress also blasted president-elect Donald Trump for mocking a reporter with a disability in 2015."

Definitely agree with these guys, attack would be pushing it too much. She didn't like what Trump did was all not an attack, even though it was disrespectful, not an attack.

Trump never attacked an disabled person. The reporter was was normal except that one hand really? The press is going retarded. The hand gestures he did he used that on everyone. He used it on ted Cruz, macro rubio, and obama, But oh no Trump is making fun of someone. Stupid press. Than when she called him out that completely stupid. For one it was lie like i said he never did. For two she was just trying to gain attention, and make everyone feel bad for her. For three she went completely off topic. She is just as pathetic as the press.

Britain's prime minister to drop by Republican retreat. Mr. Trump, the headliner at this week's Republican congressional retreat in Philadelphia, has more Twitter followers. Peyton Manning, another featured speaker, has more Super Bowl rings.

US President-elect Donald Trump has made a fresh assault on America's intelligence community. He said on Twitter that an intelligence briefing he was due to receive on alleged Russian interference in the 2016 election - which is said to have benefited Mr Trump - had been delayed.

Despite initial word of gunshots, Albuquerque's police department said on Twitter that there was "no confirmation" of gunshots. "There is no confirmation that any gunshots were fired, contrary to reports. Possible damage to Convention Center Windows by pellet gun," the department tweeted.

I think it is ridiculous how Trump rallies come to such violence and in some cases Donald Trump even supports the violence by saying in one of his rallies that is someone says something negative about him to throw a tomato at them.

If a refugee commits a crime, will a federal judge have blood on his hands? President Trump says yes. After Judge James L. Robart temporarily blocked an executive order that stopped all refugees as well as visitors from seven Muslim-majority countries, the president wrote on Twitter: "Just cannot believe a judge would put our country in such peril.
