'Australia has no freedom,' Fox News host 

claims in discussion on gun laws



Tucker Carlson, one of the hosts of the Fox & Friends segment which aired on Monday night, said that gun restrictions were an “infantile focus on the tool of the violence,” and interrupted a fellow host, Clayton Morris, when he listed Australia as a common example used in the argument for gun restrictions
“The other side of that argument, that people always throw out, of course, is like: ‘look at Australia! They don’t have gun violence, they have no guns, their citizens aren’t allowed to have guns’,” Morris said.

Im not a fan of gun legalisation purely because I think that allowing something to be so openly used can result to using it in the incorrect context and inappropriately. However the fact that the fox news presenter said that ‘you can go to jail for expressing unpopular views’, illustrates that how social and political tensions cause an interruption in voicing opinions. 









Twitter is replacing favourites with likes – but

 does anyone heart it?


Favourites – we use them for a myriad of reasons. Favouriting a tweet could mean “I like this tweet”, or “good point”, or “this is fun, but not enough to retweet”, or “I acknowledge your communication, but can’t be bothered to reply”, or “the conversation is ending now, but on a positive note!” Also, the favourite is a great bookmarking tool.

I think that its great for social media sites to be enhancing their features on the internet, however it may look like they are coping Instagram which may familiarise people  the 'like' button however they may gain a great load of criticism for being less creative and innovative.
