Eckburg: Twitter opens discourse but is not a place for total free speech

Bella Eckburg, Opinion Director • December 5, 2022

Twitter is arguably the social media for working adults and the place for debate, information and memes. It’s less about algorithms and beauty and more about how effective you are at conveying information in 280 characters or less. You can add a gif or photo or post an audio message, but the platform comes down to a short tweet at its core.

Stella: Stop giving the campus preachers what they want — a crowd

Michael Stella, Collegian Columnist • September 12, 2022

The campus preachers have already been out on The Plaza within the first two weeks of school, spewing their nonsensical and hate-filled rhetoric as they have the last few academic years. That means the massive crowds of students surrounding the so-called preachers have also returned, which is exactly the problem. The campus preachers — a loose and dishonest nickname given to people who think they are accurately depicting the word of God when they are doing quite the opposite — can only survive on campus with the attention of students.
