There was a recent verdict that politicians are not allowed to block people on social media as it was ruled that access to public figures is a constitutional right.

I propose we take this one further: public figures, namely politicians, should not be allowed to delete social media posts after receiving backlash. The people that they represent should have access to the things they say, both good and bad. Politicians should not be allowed to say negative things and express controversial opinions then simply delete the post when it doesn't go their way or realize it goes against their party lines. I argue that this goes against the same constitutional right to have access to our representatives in government. They can instead, make an apology knowing the people still have the record of what they said.

I do realize that there is a gaping loophole where they edit their posts to something completely different, effectively deleting the post as opposed to deleting a post, so I also add they shouldn't be able to make edits beyond minor ajustments (spelling, grammer, etc.)
