Trump vs. Harris: The Battle for Democracy in US Elections

Updated: 04 Nov 2024, 10:19 PM IST

The upcoming US election between Donald Trump and Kamala Harris is seen as a crucial moment in US history with implications for press freedom and media censorship.

Donald Trump and Kamala Harris will be facing off on Tuesday in the US election, which is crucial for democracy in America. Trump's stance on media freedom and censorship has raised concerns among press freedom organizations. While Trump has promised to open up libel laws and sue publications for negative articles, his plans remain unfulfilled. A victory for Trump could worsen the media climate in America and embolden attacks against journalists.

Trump's potential re-election could lead to legal changes regarding libel and press accountability. His vows to break the left-wing censorship regime and end government funding for disinformation research have sparked debates on media freedom and press rights. Trump's plans to investigate all forms of censorship and revoke federal funding for non-profits engaging in content moderation could have far-reaching consequences for freedom of speech and press accountability.
