During the competition she was asked if social media platforms respect free speech, or regulate what people post to which she answered that she believes that social media can be a positive impact on the people. We can use social media to share knowledge, information however she also believes that sometimes social media can be used to spread negativity to hurt people. So, they should identify people who are spreading negativity and make sure that they are not abusing the platform as well as the people on social media. Madison definitely has had an incredible journey in 2019.
