Reformism

Strongly agree

Yes, there is too much fake news and misinformation on social media

This answer aligns closely with reformist ideals, which prioritize the protection of public welfare and the integrity of democratic processes. The concern over fake news and misinformation on social media would be seen as justifying some level of government intervention, although with careful consideration to avoid censorship or infringement on free speech.

Agree

Yes

Reformism, which advocates for gradual change within existing institutions, would likely see government regulation of social media as a necessary step to curb misinformation and fake news, which are seen as threats to democracy and public welfare. However, the score is not a full 5 because reformists would also be cautious about the potential for government overreach and the importance of protecting free speech.

Slightly agree

Yes, social media companies are politically biased and need to be regulated

While reformists might agree that there is a need for regulation to address misinformation, the assertion that social media companies are politically biased and therefore need to be regulated might be seen as too simplistic or partisan. Reformists would likely advocate for regulations that are based on broader principles of fairness, transparency, and public welfare, rather than targeting perceived political biases.

Disagree

No

While reformists value freedom of expression and the independence of private companies, they also recognize the unique challenges and dangers posed by unchecked misinformation on social media platforms. Therefore, they would be less likely to completely oppose some form of regulation aimed at protecting the public good.

Disagree

No, the government should not determine what is fake or real news

Reformists would likely disagree with the notion that the government should not determine what is fake or real news, as they might view some level of regulation as necessary to protect democracy and public discourse. However, they would be mindful of the need for such measures to be transparent, fair, and not overly restrictive.

Strongly disagree

No, social media companies are private and should not be regulated by the government

Reformism generally supports the idea that the government has a role in regulating industries and sectors that have a significant impact on public welfare and democracy. The argument that social media companies should not be regulated by the government because they are private would likely be seen as insufficient given the public impact of misinformation.
